Kilburn, Grange Cinema

A Memory of Kilburn.

I lived in Torbay Road just off the Willesden Lane and our two parks were Queens Park and Grange Park. The State Cinema seemed very grand, so we all used to go to Saturday morning pictures at the Grange cinema. If you were lucky you could also get in round through the back doors for free, so could watch the same film several times! It all seems a long time ago and though most of us came from homes with little or no money, everyone knew neighbours and everywhere was clean and people were proud of their street.
