Venue Comments

"The Agricultural Hall was a simple brick structure, built in 1897 in Spring St, north of the barracks. It was almost immediately handed over to the Road Board, but was neglected enough that complaints were being made by 1900. In 1903, alterations were approved, which lengthened the hall by twenty feet, and added a stage, a ladies’ room, and a room for the use of the Road Board. These alterations were completed by April 1903, but in 1909 the Road Board moved into new separate offices. The Corricks stopped in the town in December 1909, presumably screening in the Agricultural Hall, and Tivoli Pictures presented at least one screening there in 1914.

The hall was later converted into a private home, and eventually demolished." (Bertrand 2001)
