Hancock’s Hall opened in(about 1926?) built by Cecil ‘Pop’ Hancock. The theatre was a reconstruction of a shed which had previously served as a garage cum barn which became a dance hall and picture theatre. Cecil ‘Pop’ Hancock’s own screenings ceased after sound-on-film was successfully demonstrated in the town and it became obvious that he could not afford to acquire quality sound equipment.
Hancock’s Hall became Mick Lalor’s Hardware Store in the 1950’s, but it was later demolished and in the 1990’s the BP service station stands on the site.
