In 1990, the Council commissioned a survey of arts provision in North Devon and, in particular, the role of the council's two theatres, the Victoria Pavilion in Ilfracombe and the Queen's Hall in Barnstaple. As a result, the Queen's Hall was refurbished and like The Landmark, is now managed by the North Devon Theatres' Trust.
The Victoria Pavilion, was constructed in the mid 1920s and, although it underwent major repairs 12 years ago, was in terminal decay requiring a great deal of money to be spent on its structure and services. In view of the high level repair costs and the severe physical limitations of the building as a theatre, the council took the decision in 1994 to replace it with a new building. The new centre was conceived as a group of pavilions in the park, standing on the seaward edge. The primary design idea was to unify the various spaces of the [site] and create a landscaped seaside park, extending over the site, of the quality offered by the Southern Slope Gardens. ...
Hopefully that will suffice, otherwise, you may reply if not satisfied. :-)
