The history of one hundred years of Shirehampton Public Hall is synonymous with the social history of the community itself, recalling as it does the many ways in which the Hall and Library was, and is used by the local population. 

Prepare to be educated, informed and entertained as you embark on a journey through ten decades of a much loved building that remains as important to Shirehampton now as it was in 1904 when the doors opened for the first time. Imagine being transported, like a lark ascending, by sublime music played by masters of the art; or joining in the shouts of ‘he’s behind you’ at the many local pantomimes. Enjoy the antics of the Gang Shows, or in more serious mood, listen to eminent scholars and politicians giving their views on the world as they saw it.   

Jitterbug your way through the war time and Bernwell dances, reminisce about   wedding parties, balls and Twyford House productions.  Wallow in nostalgia with the many memories of by-gone eras that are recorded in this book, and pore over the photographs looking for familiar faces.  

Find out what is happening in the Hall today and learn a little of the 21^st century user groups. 

Read this book and celebrate a century of Shirehampton’s history as it was played out in the Public Hall and Library.
