Hi does anybody have any photos of the Verona cinema on fleetwood rd north it's called the Verona hall now and was originally called Thornton cinema shut in the 1950's
Lived just to left in photo; No.97 - great days, went to Millfield.
Does anyone remember the Queens Bars in Cleveleys? I worked there in the cabaret they put on 3 times a night, about 5 acts. I was the 'Jackie' part of Ricky & Jackie Day...and my fondest memory was of a guy called Jimmy Rose, a Country & Western singer, and his lovely wife. Rita...a Birmingham couple....I wonder where they are now, and what the Queens Bars site looks like now...probably a shopping mall.
Well actually it is any dates up to & beyond 1960.  Born in 1951, I recognise the view of how the avenue looked before all the bungalows were built on the west side.  We used to walk to Cleveleys through the 'paddy fields', full of buttercups & mayflowers.  When we reached Rowlands Farm (Rowlands Lane now) we'd risk our lives cimbing in the tumbledown farmhouse & make dens. Great days.
