Our Old Cinemas

My, weren`t we spoiled for choice?

Here I list all or most of the Cinema Theatres (should say Movie for all our ex-pats in the States and Canada.   Also included here our Dance Halls and Theatres, etc.  Surprising how I can recall them after all the years.  The majority have been closed.  Some before my time I may add.

Any I miss I am sure you will remind me.  Here goes.
