Umpire has got me stumped......All of Accrington's cinemas began with the letter 'T' :- Th'Odeon; Th'Empire; T'Princes; T'Palace: T'Ritz; T'King's Hall , which is only six, so is he including T'Queen's Hall (T'Tudor) , which was in just Church, or t'Dowry, Accrington's first cinema but long before his time .?
I suspect Umpire is a year or two older than me, as my memories of the 40s mostly concern school and 'playing out'
I await his next delivery when he will tell us more about his schooldays - maybe more besides. Make it quick, before the men in white coats arrive.
