There is a placque on the front of a bank in Charing Cross Road referring to the Alhambra. No mentioning of the Panopticom. I would like to find out more about the organ (pictures, specification etc.). I understand the organist was W. T. Best who achieved fame as the greatest concert organist of the Victorian era.
