Thurston's Hall was a major billiards and snooker venue between 1901 and 1955 in Leicester Square, London.
They moved to 45-46 Leicester Square and built new premises there, including a "match room" which became known as "Thurston's Hall".
[2] The last major event at the hall was the English Amateur Billiards Championship which was won, on 5 April, by Kingsley Kennerley for the fourth successive time.
[12] Joe Davis compiled the first officially recognised maximum break at Leicester Square Hall on Saturday 22 January 1955 in a match against 68-year-old fellow Englishman Willie Smith.
[13] The match between Davis and Smith was played as part of a series of events marking the closure of Leicester Square Hall.
The Billiards Association and Control Council initially refused to accept the break since the match was not played under their rules.
[13] The final match was a snooker contest, played on level terms, between Joe and Fred Davis from 24 to 29 January.
[1] The contents were auctioned off on 2 February with the match table on which Davis had made his maximum break being sold for 270 guineas.
