Redcar Pavilion

A Memory of Redcar.

I remember my Grandmother, May Gray and Pop my Grandfather, William Gray, used to go to the Pavilion Theatre which is now, I think, the Cinema over the beach. She used to watch a man called Billy Breem who later became Larry Grayson there. His catch phrase, "Shut that door" came about when the back stage door was open. He turned round and said "Shut that Door". Little did he know that it would later be his catch phrase. He used to go to tea with my Grandma and Pop in Ings Road. I wrote to him when he was famous and his letter proved he remembered my Grandparents. I remember going to watch a Disney cartoon in the cinema which was then next but one to Marks and Spencers.
