Former "Unity Hall", Tring
Image: © Gerald Massey Taken: 7 Jul 2009
This building in Tring's Lower High Street was built in 1880 by the Co-operative Society and there was a Co-op store on the site until the 1980s. At some point the upstairs (shown here), which housed "Unity Hall", became Tring's first cinema, "The Gem Picture Palace" showing pictures that were "very fine and free from vulgarity." The Gem moved to purpose-built premises in Western Road, Tring, 1916.
