A Memory of Eltham.

I saw Dr. Who and the Daleks, in the Summer of 1965 at the ABC (or 'The Picture Palace' as my father called it). I was about 10 years of age.
The movie poster showing on the cinema, the support movie anyway, in your photo is Bikini Beach (1964).
The picture looks like taken on a summers day, sun shining, clear day, people dressed in summer clothing.
Many memories of Eltham.

I too saw Dr Who and the Darleks there, also, with my father, One Million years BC, and Grand prix. I had a glow in the dark ABC badge. Down the hil was the Goumont I would go to Saturday morning pictures there for 3d

Across the street fom the picture palace was the Gas showroom, for some reason they had a chrome trench in front of the showroom window. I used to play in it until someone banged on the window.
