I was the last paying customer to leave the Gaumont the Saturday night it closed (15 Feb 1964). I was 13 years old and thought it a great picture-house (as we used to call them) because most weeks it would have a double feature on a Sunday night, (usually a couple of old, B movies) a different double feature from MOnday – Wednesday and a third double feature bill from Thursday to Saturday. You could pack a lot of pictures in if you tried!!

The final film to show there was The Pirates of Blood River with Christopher Lee. It was part of a double Hammer show and I seem to remember the first was a Dracula film but can’t honestly remember. Cheers, Alistair
