Empire Theatre

I believe that movies stopped screening at the Theatre closer to 1970/71. My father Harry Brett was Manager of the Theatre until we emigrated to Australia at that time. I remember as a child being seated in the back row while my father managed the Theatre and my mother worked in the ticket office/box. When the movie, “The Battle of Britain” was screening, he set up a display at the front counter with die cast models of the British and German plains hanging by fishing line as if in the air doing battle. Looking at the photos posted, my memory is taken back to those years and I am happy to see that we preserve some of our history as with this building.
