My mother her father and his father were there on the night it opened. She remembered it had live acts between each film, and the night just went on and on as each act took their turn. I also remember the fish and chip shop just up the road. Many an hour has been spent sitting in the cinema watching one of the many films they had on. I also remember going to see Paul Anker playing live on stage, and Antonio the famous Spanish dancer.
Such a pity it is now just a shell of it’s former self.
So nice to see that someone still cares about it!
