WOOLACOMBE
Gone but not forgotten:        Simpson's Hall
Briefly operated by R L Knight of Barnstaple, this 16mm part time operation was housed on the Simpson's
Hall.  Woolacombe would have been little more than a village at this time.  The operation ran from at
least 1956 to 1958.

Strict conditions were laid out for this venue.  The audience were not to exceed 60 without a trained
fireman in attendance and the audience should never exceed 200.
