The Grange Cinema
A Memory of Dagenham.
As I recall, there were four cinemas in Dagenham; The Grange (flea pit) Chequers junction,
The Gaumont Heathway, The Odeon Becontree Heath & The Princess, New Road which always seem to show `X` rated horror films and later became a bowling alley. Behind the Grange was a dance hall/club called The Borough? Does anyone remember a Skiffle competition at the Gaumont won by the Saxons?
PS. There were two other cinemas nearby and they were the Regent in Green Lane
(near Woolworths) and the Gaumont in Chadwell Heath but they came under Ilford.

I also remember the Borough. Anybody remember Lays dance hall. I remember Woolworths in the Heathway. Went to all girls school at Spurling Road, or parsloes Avenue, according to which entrance was used.
