I started school in 1954 at Argyle Infants School King’s Cross, which was directly behind this cinema and accessed via Tonbridge Street to the right hand side of the cinema (now closed off and redeveloped).
From 1954 – 1958, I regularly attended Saturday morning ‘pictures’ at this cinema, which I always knew as the ‘Granada’.
Indeed, before each performance, the cinema organ would rise in front of the stage and we would all sing our own song –“We’re one for all and all for one, the King’s Cross Granadiers…..”, to the tune of the “British Granadiers.
I can still hear the hurrah’s for the good guys and boos for the bad, when they played films such as "The Lone Ranger” and “Batman & Robin”.
Any other King’s Cross Granadiers out there?
