The County Cinema, Dalton Square, Lancaster was next door to the home of Dr Buck Ruxton who was the perpetrator in a dramatic murder case in the 1930s. He killed and dismembered his wife and maid and dumped their body parts in a river in Scotland.
The case is celebrated as being the first case to secure a conviction by forensically re-constructing the face of the victim and the timing of insect life-cycle.
Both buildings are still intact and in regular use.
My brother in law had a free pass as an advertiser and my fiancĂ© and I saw many great films there. Most notably the hilarious ‘It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
