Good Old Days

A Memory of Darlington.

Can anyone remember the sweet shop on corner of Crown Street and Qubeck Street opposite the Empire Cinema it was run by a lady called Daisy . I was working at the Post Office and we were her best customers .On some Sundays my pals and I would go to the matinée at the Empire and when the film ended run up Northgate to catch the evening film at the Gourmont . Can anyone remember the Horsebox at this cinema it was rows of seats at a angle so faced the screen sideways .Some nights we used to treat ourselves to a Chinese meal at the Ying Hung up a steep staircase next to Alexandra's .I now live in Richmond but still remember the good times we had in Darlington Tony Atkinson
