I was relief manager here in 1960. It was the first Granada-owned venue to utilise British-Thomson-Houston Xenon projection lamps instead of carbon arc……rumour was that Xenon lamps cost £900 each (my life!)
I was Asst Manager here (Eric Tripp was Gen Mgr)in 1960 when we screened The Trials of Oscar Wilde. We were both on duty in the foyer when a bunch of green carnations were delivered to me - I turned to Eric and asked, “What should I do with these?”….“Put one in your hair why don’t you?”!!
