From August 1951 until some time in 1955 we lived in Cedar Court, right opposite the Odeon cinema. We could see it from our lounge window. I spent many happy hours there. I was 14 when we moved to Sheen and 17 when we left. I took a girl called Jennifer there on my first date. I loved the Saturday morning performances for the kids, but it was so noisy you couldn’t hear what they were saying! I go to a school reunion every 18 months and do a nostalgic “walk to school” right past where the odeon used to stand. Great shame it was closed. It was a very majestic building – unlike the ugly office block that now stands in its place.
