I think the music hall was always an extension of the pub and they are usually listed as together, and with the same owners.
Have tried to search to find out when it was the Canterbury Music Hall. The directories show it as the the London music hall in 1888, the Canterbury in 1890 and 1892 and the Pavilion in 1895, though these directories can be a yearf or so out of date sometimes. the newspaper references refer only to 1890 (when the stage manager was murdered just outside the theatre). and 1892, mentioned in a court case concerning a takeover of ownership. The entrance , caertainly when it opened as the London M.H. was from Digbeth down a passage. This is mentioned in a cutting I have placed on the museum thread and belwo
sorry if one half is a bit small.
