William Haggar's showfront, c. 1908
Description
William Haggar (1851-1925) was a pioneer of motion pictures which he presented from his travelling cinema or bioscope, appearing regularly at fairgrounds across south Wales. It is thought that Haggar made at least fifty films himself, and seven of these were distributed as far afield as the United States. He later opened a cinema-chain in south Wales.
