This was an awesome cinema and sadly we will never see anything like it in the North East again. I remember going with my parents to see the remake of Lost Horizon there and feeling slightly dissapointed as they showed the trailer for Live And Let Die which was playing at the Odeon – ‘'why could'nt I watch that instead of this musical rubbish’‘ I asked of my parents ? – despite this dissapointment I could appreciate the grandeur and scale of the cinema.

I did visit the Queens before it closed to see the cartoon version of Lord Of The Rings – I was really impressed with the epic showmanship that the Queens was capable of – If only it was still around when Peter Jackson’s trilogy was released – Now that would
have been something !

Sadly missed and thanks for listing this forgotten classic of a cinema – Thank You
