Yes I remember it well, always showed B movies and you were lucky if you saw the complete film without the projector breaking down, when it did there were boos and shouts from the audience. Also the carpets were loose and you took your life in your hands if you had to answer the call of nature. Came out through the Cattle market which was entertainment for free. Happy Days Eh
I remember going to the Saturday morning picture in the Laurie Hall, it cost 6d. We lived in North Street and going back through the churchyard to the next street there was an ice factory threre and on a hot day they would give us a pieceof ice to suck on the way home. Great memories.
