NEW LAUNCESTON GOSPEL HALL
Large Congregations at Opening Services
The Gospel Hall in Elizabeth-street Launceston, was opened during the week-end, when special meetings were held. The first of the series commenced on Friday evening, the hall being well filled. On Saturday afternoon a special opening meeting was conducted, and although preparation had been made for large numbers, it was impossible to find seating accommodation for all present.

    Hi
    I was wondering who the gospel hall in 66a Launceston was sold to as there doesn’t seem to be any work done on property or any plans in with council
