Description

A glossy black and white print of Victoria Hall. Above the doors and windows on the bottom left of the building is a sign "BIBLE AND TRACT DEPOT". The signs in the lower windows on the right hand side say "PRINTING OFFICE". The words "VICTORIA HALL" appear above the doorway in the centre. Several people are standing in front of the building.

Notes

The inscription, not seen on the digital copy, was added to the original photograph in 1939.
This building was originally the London New Connexion Methodist Church. The Y.M.C.A. purchased the building in 1878, renovated it and renamed it Victoria Hall. They occupied it until 1893 when it was sold to the Salvation Army.
