The opening of the New Picture House Cinema in Fisherton Street on
27th September 1937 caused quite a stir in Salisbury. For 24 years,
the cinema drew in the crowds and entertained the people of
Salisbury until it closed in 1961. On 30th January 1963, the
building received a new lease of life when it opened as the City
Hall, a multi-purpose community venue. The Hall became the home for
the local beat dances, hosting the likes of the Beatles, the
Rolling Stones and local boys, Dave Dee Dozy Beaky Mick & Tich.
This book charts the history of the building from 1937 to 2013,
based upon interviews with staff both past and present.
