Music Hall Tavern, Blackpool

This is an interesting building in the seaside English town of Blackpool.

These photos were taken in 2001 when it was called the Music Hall Tavern but also bore signage on the upper floors reading Buddy's.

I think it is interesting because of the curved front and entrance with the rest of the building taking on a more standard rectangular form with stepping in both the roofline and the marquee.

www.JoeLongthorneFans.com lists that in 2001 singer Joe Longthorne is signed to "Ritz Music Group" and becomes inovlved [sic] in his own club "Joe Longthornes Music Hall Tavern", however the venture is short lived oweing [sic] to yet more financial strife.

From the For Sale sign on the building, I wonder if this picture has caught that moment in time.
