The Crescent in Pontefract is not on the corner of Ropergate and Front Street. It is actually on the corner of Ropergate and what was Newgate but is now called Jubilee way. The author may be confusing it with the now long gone Alexander cinema which was on Front Street with Stuart Street (now called Stuart Road) on the North side and Victoria street (no longer exists) on the south side. Equally there was another cinema a few hundred yards up from the Alex called the Premier which was on the corner of Front street and Watergate!
