HELLO, Great photo of the ROCK Phil, Thank you, Lots of happy times there,
Use to love to see the coloured photos out side on the display boards, of the movie thay were showing at that time....In side it was quite a flat floor, If someone tall sat in front of you, Then it was hard to see the screen....Mined you.....It was allways a big haze of fog from smoke of Park Drive or Senior Service fags....
.
If you carried on up Alumrock Rd: , The next CINEMA was the GRAND it closed long before all the other ones did, It was quite small.......Further on up the next one was the CAPITAL just past the PELHAM pub and the next one was at the FOX & GOOSE roundabout, The BEAUFORT, I remember seeing SOLDIER BLUE...It was a violent western.
The ASHTED, Ashted Row, many a happy Saturday morning spent there, Seeing Jungle Jim and Superman ...Coming out and putting your mac around your shoulders, with one button done up round your neck..... jumping off the steps..... I was never able to fly.....
And the GAIETY, Colesell St, Seeing THE YOUNG ONES, Staring SIR CLIFF....Happy Times....
Thats All...THANK YOU....OZNOW.
