Built in 1838 and called simply The Music Hall, the venue was renamed the New Tyne Concert Hall in 1879, and in 1884 it was renamed the Gaiety.

Arthur Lloyd is known to have performed at The Grainger Music Hall in 1862 1863

The Hall was gutted shortly after the picture of the stage shown left was taken, and has now been converted into a clothes shop. The exterior facade remains however.
