Gem - I think it's something everyone will always remember. The sheer horror of watching it happening like an apocalyptic movie will never leave us, I'm sure.

Yes, I think it was, WeeGranny. He was in power for about 8 years I think and presided over one of the cruellest regimes ever.

The Duke of York's Picture House opened in Brighton. It is now the oldest continually operating cinema in Britain.“A grandchild fills a space in your heart that you never knew was empty.” – UnknownComment

Gem - have you ever been there?
We went a couple of times when we lived in Worthing, and also to the relatively 'new' 1930s cinema in Worthing itself. I'm not sure if either of them are still operating - there was a programme about the Worthing cinema a couple of years ago, but I didn't see it.

Gem - you'd love it, I'm sure. It really is unlike anywhere else. We were lucky to live so close for a couple of years.
