The Apollo Music Hall, also known as the Red Cross Public House, was a building at 25 Hare Street, Cambridge Heath, north east London. Built in 1854 at a cost of £3,000, it had a capacity of 600. It was licensed from 1854 until 1871.[1] [2] The music hall attracted young people that would "mimic popular comic songs, accompanied by a three-piece orchestra" during the week, and on Sundays the Salvation Army held church services that included gospel singing.[3]
