I won and lost a few tanners at that snooker hall. I lived in Abbeydale just off Broadfield road, so the picture house choices were great, the Abbeydale, the Heeley Palace, and the Coli. If you wanted to wear out a little more footwear there was Heeley Green too. Living here among all these 12 movie multiplexes, with there drab auditoriums, their terrible movie choices aimed solely at teenagers, I stay home and rent a DVD, if I can find one that's worth it.
