More about this scene

Midhurst is a town of contrasts, with an early medieval core around the church, west of the Norman castle earthworks on St Anne's Hill, and the wide North Street, a later medieval planned market place. This wide, straight road leads to the intricacies of the rest of Midhurst. The late-Victorian towered building has been replaced by a nasty 1960s supermarket building, but otherwise little has changed.

My grandmother, Violet Bowden, worked as a usherette at the Orion. I used to love the Saturday afternoon matinee shows that gave sweets as prizes. Towards the end of the cinemas time my friend Robert Constable and I were watching a film when the manager asked us if we would mind coming back another day as we were the only customers and he wanted to close!!
This old picture shows very few cars and people. It also shows the old Cinema and clock tower on the left. This was sadly demolished to make way for a ghastly supermaket, which is ugly and in disrepair at this time Jan 2007.
