The Curzon Cinema

A Memory of Flixton.

This is the Curzon cinema, with the old Swimming Baths at the left of the shot.

I remember Saturday afternoon childrens matinees and also watching 'Zulu'
at the Curzon when it was first released. The other local cinema was the
'Empress' in Urmston town centre - demolished to make way for a small
shopping centre long ago...

The Curzon cinema is now a theatre school, and the baths were demolished long ago,
the site is now occupied by sheltered housing and a clinic.

The new swimming pool is about 300 metres away along Bowfell Road - the exit
from the round-about at the right hand side of the picture. I know that because
I just returned from doing my daily (well, almost!) 20 lengths.

Comments & Feedback

I remember watching The Wizard of Oz with my Granny Fielding in the early 1950s and hiding behind the seat in front every time the Wicked Witch came on the screen, so didn't see much of the film.
