Rex Cinema Norbury

I was so excited when I discovered this site I just had to join!
I lived in Melfort Road from 1942 'til 1956 and went to Winterbourne and the Manor.
The story about the Rex echoed mine. My wife worked in the office block for CITB in about 1960/2. As kids we alternated between the Rex and the Granada and bunked into the Rex to see Blackboard Jungle, so much like the Manor! My first job was at Loverings opposite the Granada.
I have been on Friends ReUnited for years but not had much luck. I was a street kid (my dad died when I was 9) so TH and Norbury was my stamping ground.
I look forward to seeing; and adding, more memories of the old place, last visit 2004.
