I used to work as a Doorman in the 1970 when Mr Nethercoat was the Manager …… we told people the place was Haunted and the ghost flicked peanuts from the Balcony to people below …The truth was as underground trains travelled underneath the building, the vibration made an isle seat pop down and bits of plaster from the ceiling fall off and hit people…a lovely old building with fond memories …..also of Jim the other Doorman and Pearl an usherette
My friends and I got barred from this cinema!
Fab picture you found Howard : I used to go there as a kid,,but when it had been sub-divided and the upper circle was shut off from the main auditorium !
