Description
The Queens Hall Kinema was opened in December 1912. It was a luxurious cinema but quite small. It closed due to the competition from the Havelock cinema in 1917. The exterior architecture of the cinema, without the entrance, remains although it is now a commercial premise. Nothing remains of the interior.
