MILLBROOK

Gone but not forgotten:        Liberal Hall ~ Lyric

The remote village of Millbrook had a part time cinema from the early 1930s until late 1950s housed in the Liberal Hall.  It was established by Mr Strutt of the Regal Torpoint and seated 229.  It ceased during the war years and after the war was operated by Ernest Levi Honour with Imperial sound and William John Hocking later showed films here on Wednesdays and Saturdays.  It was called the Lyric from the end of the 1950s.  The hall was equipped with a 20' by 9' CinemaScope screen within a 30' proscenium.  The Liberal Hall was demolished around 1990.
