In late 1908 William Honeysett (1857-1926) set about building a 66 x 30 foot weatherboard public hall on land he owned next to the Royal Hotel, opposite Springwood railway station 72 km. west of Sydney. Community events were taking place there by early 1909, including film screenings - which were no longer a novelty, and now attracted some less than enthusiastic reviews (see above). Springwood Hall (#1) was included among the venues proclaimed on 1st August 1909 under the newly introduced N.S.W. Theatres & Public Halls Act.
