Background Information

The Agricultural Hall in Norwich became the home of Anglia TV in 1959. At one time it was used for circuses, fairs and even early film shows as well as cattle shows and other agricultural business. The hall was opened by the Prince of Wales in 1882. The main exhibition hall, which is seen here, was turned into studios. It was from here that Anglia TV filmed Sale of the Century and Gambit. This film was part of a Pathe Gazette issue no. 618. Other stories in the same issue included George Robey's putting the finishing touches to his mascot, 'Dinky Doo'. 'Dinky Doo' was a doll designed to resemble him and was to be sold for the Benefit of St. Bart's Hospital. A lady steeplejack in Oakland, USA is also featured.
