My father, Tony Dickinson, was the manager of this cinema around 1961. He was working at the Alexandra in Pontefract previously but had a fall out with Star Group just after bingo opened and went to work for, I believe, Harvey Coole (?) at the Picture House. I was only 11 at the time ( ‘Telstar’ was at number 1 ) but remember going into the projection box and learning the job ! I’m amazed the building is still there and will be making a pilgrimage shortly to relive memories. If anyone remembers my father (he was manager of the Crescent throughout the fifties) please post or email…
