Picture taken in the late 1950's. Can anyone remember the venue was it taken at "TH'EMP" or did we go posh at the Court Hall?

Looks like a venue that specialises in weddings looking at the photoframe in the room on the left.

10 out of 10 for being observant Peter.

My parents wedding was at the Court Hall.

Peter, it does look to be an official type of place with who looks to be an usher showing the couple out. Could they have been to book a wedding at the Registrars office when it was in the Moot Chambers or somewhere before it moved to Bridgeman Terrace? Whatever the occasion they do look to be extremely happy and pleased.

It looks like the Court Ballroom in the 1960s . It doesn't look like the Empress
The court Ballroom used to do dances on a Wednesday for teenagers
