The Burley Local History Group has a little more information: the Victoria Hall was built in 1888. Opened to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Jubilee, it housed the local Rifle Volunteers, a detachment of the Duke of Wellington’s West Riding Regiment 3rd Battalion Rifle Corps. Burley residents also used it as a multi-purpose hall for meetings, weddings and the like.

The A.S. Hyde circuit operated the Victoria Hall as a cinema during the 1940’s to the 1950’s, the building was demolished in 1962.
