Continental Cinema

In the eighties, up until closure, the Continental was well run by a young guy (and mother on tickets & ice creams) who showed stuff that wasn’t on in town, including a repertory evening on Tuesdays showing classic. We were in there every week. He had a great stash of old adverts and public information films from the 1960s which all got an airing. “How to raise a dog” was a good one. One evening, when the February temperature inside the cinema was colder than outside, he treated us to “Exploring in the Antarctic”, which seemed a little cruel at the time.

Some historic detail and a couple of small photographs here:
