Politics, justice, music, theatre and grand balls – for over a century Portrush Town Hall in Northern Ireland was the centre of town life. When it was threatened with demolition, the building-preservation trust Hearth stepped in to rescue this seafront landmark and give it a new lease of life as a performance venue.
