The Essoldo (Empire) seen from a busy Gateshead High Street in the early 1960’s. The ABC Ritz tower can be seen in the distance. Both these cinemas were demolished in the late 1960’s to make way for a new flyover which, in the event, did not touch either site. The Odeon was just forward of the spot from where this photo was taken and the management there hoped that with the ABC and Essoldo out of the way business would increase there – well, it did not work out that way…….
