The Constitutional Hall c.1895
Pictured here soon after it was built in 1890 at a cost of approximately £6000, the Constitutional Hall was used for public meetings dances and entertainments, and could seat about 700 people.
As can be seen, it stood next to the field used for fairs and circuses and extended a considerable distance back from the street. It was the natural venue for political meetings and debates, which became quite heated.
In 1905 Clifford Spain, the Walton-on-Thames cinema entrepreneur, began his career by staging regular film shows here, making the building effectively the town’s first cinema.
During the second the Second World War the building was used as extra classroom space to enable Stepgates School to accommodate the extra pupils evacuated from London.
After 100 years the Trustees sold the Hall. It was subsequently purchased by Wellers Auctioneers as their Surrey Auction House.
