That’s a pretty cool story Sam of you and Annie! and what a great Way to get a reminder of happy days, every time you watch that particular Sweeney episode!! I will look out for it the next time I watch the Placer! They certainly were happy days! We went to that cinema on our third date and saw the original version of "Gone In 60 Seconds" back in March '78. In fact we sat through the film twice to see the scenes that we, er, 'missed' in the first showing. Sam. Argh’ luv it! Watching it again twice through.. the scenes ya missed- the excitement of being on a date... I wonder how many young uns go pictures these days on a 1st or 2nd date! probably not many compared to back then!! There’s something fundamentally nostalgic about these type of Cinemas!

There was a cinema in Radcliffe too, near the bus station which closed sometime in the 60s. Another one I remember going to was the Temple on Cheetham Hill Road, which was a bit of a flea pit. An interesting one is the Essoldo in Stretford, which is an unusual art deco design I used to live in Radcliffe, always seemed a bit ropy in later years! but this was long after the Cinema.. you seem familiar with the Cinemas In Manchester and the nostalgia! You’d a loved the LOM meet

Where in Radcliffe were you GC? I was on Bury Road from 1960 until 1988. It did get ropey in later years yes, but it was great in the 60s and 70s
