  1. Lived in Heeley in the fifties the Heeley green, Abbeydale, Heeley palace and the Heeley coliseum were my local cinemas..

    The pictures were still king then and they used to change films twice a week ..

    Spent many happy hours watching the silver screen, once went 7 times in one week but twice was the norm..

    Always seemed strange when you went to the Empire the cheap seats were at the back, go to the cinemas they were at the front obvious really but felt weired...


  2. !946-52 lived in the prefabs just across from the Carlton, remember going twice a week to see the superman serial there and the Manor every Saturday morning,

    I've had my fair share of the Blueberry cape coming home from that, My favorite was the Durango Kid..

    Tommy Barnett got me into the C/G in 64 the squad then were Bert, Harold, George Marsh. Edwin, Stan, Arthur, George Millner . Tom went into the tool room


  4. I remember being told that during world war two they made the heavy metal supports that kept the bombs apart in side the planes..

    A visitor asked one of the machinists what they were for, on being told he asked why they needed so many.

    He was told that when the bombs were dropped the supports fell away with them, "isn't that dangerous" he asked
