Cromwell Cinema Theatre Pendleton – My Grandfather (Leslie Millar) was the first Manager and managed it until about 1933. One interesting story is that a 16 year old girl applied to be the pianist for the silent films – her name was Violet Carson (of Coronation Street fame) – It was her first job! I have a painting showing the theatre building as it was in its heyday. It was a large theatre even by modern standards.
