Kenton Northwick Park I

A Memory of Kenton.

I was living in northwick park with my grandmother, making model aeroplanes, running to the shop to buy 20 Du Mariers cigarettes for her. At the Gaumont she would insist I sit in the gallery seats, away from the common boys, I often found myself alone up there, looking down enviously at the boys throwing popcorn around and having a riotous time. Then there was the Essoldo at Kingsbury, I once saw a Tarzon movie there completely alone, the writing was on the wall for many of the cinemas. In Kinsbury there was a shop selling 78 records, which my sister would occasionally sit on and crack. Lets all sing like the birdies sing, tweet tweet tweetweet,.....is now only a memory.
