EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the New Gallery in Regent Street, City of Westminster, Greater London. The image showcases the magnificent auditorium with its domed ceiling and balcony, offering a glimpse into the rich history and architectural beauty of this iconic building. Originally built as an art gallery in the late 19th century, the New Gallery underwent several transformations over time. In 1910, it was converted into a restaurant before being transformed into a cinema in 1913 by William Woodward & Sons. Further alterations were made to the cinema in 1925 by Nicholas & Dixon-Spain. For many years, the New Gallery Cinema served as a popular entertainment venue until its closure in 1953. Following this chapter, it found new purpose as a church until eventually transitioning to retail use. The print allows us to appreciate not only the stunning interior design but also highlights elements such as laylight and rooflight that add to its artistic charm. Stepping inside this historic space would have been like stepping back in time—a testament to Victorian-era architecture and cultural significance. Preserved through Norman Walley's lens, this image serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and celebrates both arts and culture within our society.
