The Odeon
A Memory of Corby.
I remember going to The Odeon on Saturday mornings with my cousins. My family lived in Stephenson's Way then before we moved to Chelveston Drive. It was a long walk from what was The Lodge Park Estate and we'd go in a gang and replay the film on our way home across West Glebe. I loved Flash Gordon.
In later years I'd go with my boyfriend to see the latest film. I remember going to see Psycho in 1960. It was really frightening and I screamed at one of the scenes which set everyone else off screeching!
There's a family photograph somewhere of my aunt and cousin taken in the 1930s when the Odeon was first opened.

"We come along on Saturday morning, greeting everybody with a smile"
"We come along on Saturday morning, making every day worth while"
etc etc (I have forgotten the words)
As we all did at the Odeon cinema in Luton?
Then throw all our empty bags at the kids in the front rows?
Those were the days
