Venue Comments

"The first Bayswater Roads Board Hall was opened in 1898, but the current building was opened 24 September 1914, and soon was used for a regular weekly picture show, operated first by a Mr Nielsen, then Mrs Jones, then Mr Robinson. Screenings ceased for a while in the early days of talkies, but resumed in 1936 when this venue was part of R.R.Perrie's circuit, which also included Gosnells, Armadale, Queens Park and Rivervale. The hall held 350 people, and in 1953 a gardens seating a further 400 was added, next door to the hall. Screenings continued till 1967. In 1997 the hall was used as a church, and the gardens site was a carpark." (Bertrand 2001)
