PhotographerEdward LawnDescriptionThe Cambria Hall opened in 1915 and was initially used for concerts, social and fundraising events, political meetings and other community gatherings. After World War 1 it became a movie theatre and entertained many up until 1960. By then it struggled to compete with the rise of television, like many small theatres in Sydney. Since then it has been a Safeways, a Woolworths, a hairdresser and beauty salon, a music tuition centre, scout outdoor centre, clothes store and a Video Ezy. Today it is a gym and a Gloria Jeans. (Info from Parramatta Heritage Centre).
