My article for the May 2019 edition of The Local is out. This month I clear up two errors that have appeared in a number of history books regarding the Coronation Hall (now Lizotte’s) in Morehead Street Lambton.
Error | The truth |

The Coronation Hall was built on the site of the Criterion Skating Rink/Star Theatre. |
The Criterion Skating Rink was built on the south-west corner of Morehead and De Vitre Streets in 1888. In 1892 it became the Star Theatre. The Coronation Hall was built on the corner of Morehead and Kendall Streets. |
