a few may disagree, but they'd be wrong.

Re: cinemas

The King's Hall was not a very salubrious place.......but we went because it was cheap and I liked Flash Gordon....and I think they used to show Our Gang, which I loved. It was only twopence to get in, but it was always rowdy and you used to get the kids upstairs throwing orange peel at you.
I am going back a long time.
The Ritz used to change the programme up to 3 times in a week. I used to walk past it on my way to school and I would spend time looking at the stills that they put in a case outside, to tempt you to see the picture.

Re: cinemas

the "Bug Hut" was just around the corner from where i was born, so was very handy to trot round past the (electric showroom) i think it was,then before entering the flicks, tapping a fag off some guy going in the central billiard hall below.

Re: cinemas

Think the Odeon was originally called the Regal. Before my time, but I'm sure I've seen a photo of it somewhere.
