Located on the northwest corner of Tudor Street and Tavistock Street. The Wagin Agricultural Hall opened in about(1896?), and first screened movies in(September 1900?). A Picture Gardens(unnamed?) was opened in(early-1920’s?) on the vacant lot next to the Arigicultural Hall). A new brick fronted cinema was approved to be built in 1927, but was never built, because the new Wagin Town Hall was built on the side of the site of the Picture Gardens, and the Agricultural Hall became the Lesser Hall. Movies transferred to the new Wagin Town Hall which showed movies until the Wagin Drive-In opened on 12th September 1963. The Wagin Town Hall and Lesser Hall are still there, but no longer screen films!
