I also used to go to the movie shows at Penshurst Odeon Theatre. My last time was to see “First Men In The Moon” in January 1965.
Not long afterwards it was sold to the “Tom The Cheap” supermarket chain and closed. During the early part of the building’s conversion to a supermarket, it was badly damaged by fire. This occurred on the afternoon of Friday, April 8, 1966…fifty years ago this very day.
