I lived for eighteen years in Dennis Road from 1949, my sister worked at the Carlton as an Usherette. The manager then was a Mr Sheils and the Ushers name was Albert. I regularly attended the Saturday matinee and the odd evening performance after I started work, by then I was paying 3/6d for a seat on the balcony with a ride on the lift (operated by Albert). The projectionists name on the night of the bombing was Leslie Freeman, he lived alone opposite us in Dennis Rd suffering "Shellshock", he never worked after that night but walked the streets daily still wearing his commisionaires hat untill he was taken into care some ten years after the bombing.
Yes Daverock I knew Dianne Caro she was in my class at Dennis Rd School and I used to go round her house now and then, how is she doing ?
