Curtain comes down at Music Hall

Music Hall
The Music Hall will reopen as a museum and visitors centre

The final live performance has taken place at a historic music venue in Shropshire.

Sunday night's Robin Hood And The Babes In The Wood pantomime was the last for Shrewsbury's Music Hall before the building is turned into a museum.

Future plays, pantos and concerts will move to the new Theatre Severn, due to open later this year.

The new museum, which will also house visitor information and displays, is expected to be completed by 2011.
