Ideal Cinema

I was a projectionist at the cinema, we had a change of programe three times a week. The manager then was Mr Charles Ellis, he then lived at Halam, he used to bike to work then. There was also a ballroom at the top of the cinema, the people came from all over to dance on Saturday night. I also have seen long queues waiting to get into pictures. There was also for a short time live talent shows on the stage. There were two shops attached to the cinema, on one side was a cafe, the other was Bakers fish & chips but not at the same time. The nearest pub was the Shoulder of Mutton, the next business around there was Butler the painter. Thankyou.
