More about this scene
The Sterling Cinema, in the High Street, closed in 1975. A branch of Tesco Metro now occupies the building. The best clue to recognising the building today is to look for the two flagpoles. Other redevelopment in the High Street has also taken place.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I did my apprenticeship at Woodward Bros electricians, High Street and had to do a lot of repairs at the Sterling Cinema. After the job was finished, Mr Hawkins, manager, used to give me a complementary pass. I shall always remember.
My mother Pamela Gaskins has often spoken of her days working at the sterling cinema. She was cashier there and has told me she could get a full house in within half-hour, the cheapest being 9 old pennies, the most expensive 3 shillings. Giving change and no automative calculators, quite a feat of mental agility.
