I worked at the Granada Greenford. Interesting that it was built over a demolished Catholic Church as the place was haunted by a ghost we named “Charlie”. He gave us many a scare and particularly didn’t like us inhabiting our staff room. While under the management of Harry Mansfield we became quite famous with the west end theatre crowd. They kept the theatre packed when we showed such films as “New Faces” with the then unknown Eartha Kitt. And we again packed them in with standing room only for the showing of Carmen Jones. So sad that it is no more.
