First Visit To Cinema

A Memory of Wallsend.

My mother Cicely Fallon was born in Wallsend and she kept us laughing in Scotland about my grandfather Matthew Fallon and how they tried to sneak their boyfriends in and out under his watchful eye, he was a miner at Rising Sun pit. Although I was brought up in Scotland I do remember visits back to Wallsend. My first cinema visit was to a picture about the Foreign Legion in 1942 starring Laurel and Hardy, I think the cinema was near the station. I am 73 now and still remember my visits back to my second home town.
