JP SILLY 14-12-2009, 20:09 I went a few times on a Saturday afternoon with my friends but it was very tatty and looked as if it should be closed then.

JP Hi Johnny P, I can remember going to the Woodhouse Cinema (bug hut) to see Rock around the Clock. It was a madhouse!! Someone picked one of the seats up to sit in another place. There was cigs flying down from the balcony...people bopping in the isles. It was 1957 I was 14 at the time. My husband used to call it THE STAB!!! I don't know if anyone else knew it as that name! It was just opposite the old butchers shop...there was a sweet shop at one side, and Mr Fox.s drapers shop at the other side. Wonderful memories!!!

I remember people jiving in the aisles then getting thrown out. In those days, you got all around entertainment at those old picture houses. Great memory. :hihi: |
