First World War Centenary 2014

The Memo Arts Centre will be presenting a number of special events and film
screenings to mark the First World War Centenary.

In the 1920?s, the people of Barry wanted to provide a memorial for the many Barrians who had given their lives during the First World War. Combined with the wholehearted support of the people of Barry and the extremely generous help of the Davies family (descendants of David Davies who founded the docks) they succeeded, and they built the Memorial Hall Theatre and Cenotaph which opened in November 11th 1932.
