The last week

Oops….. as I was uploading the photos I ‘dropped a clanger’ with the above which was taken in 1971 when the Odeon still had four years remaining as a cinema. There is a new multiplex in Gateshead now not far from this site but it does not begin to compare with the choice of the three large cinemas once on the High Street, namely the ABC Ritz, the Essoldo and , of course, the Black’s Regal/Odeon.
