Venue Comments

"Byford was a small country town when Roch Evans' Modern Cinemas circuit visited the town fortnightly in the thirties, with Ken Alexander as projectionist. In the forties and early fifties it was on Bart Mott’s Star Entertainments circuit, then till the sixties on A.E.Randell’s circuit. In 1960-61, Jim Punch ran Byford Pictures in a local hall seating 150 people." (Bertrand 2001)
