My mother was the cashier in the Coronet Cinema, or ‘Coro’ as it was colloquially, known from the early 1950’s until it closed. My father,brother and myself used to go to the ‘Coro’ every Tuesday and Friday, and my brother and I used to go to the Saturday matinee. All complimentary tickets of course! We must have seen every film of that era. It was in the days when not everyone had a TV, and we didn’t. There was no ticket machine in the cash desk, when people bought their tickets my mother would just rip them off a roll hanging on a bit of string. We could walk to the ‘Coro’ in 10 minutes. Happy days!
