Living at Weston Coyney at the time, the town of Stoke was way out of my area, as I usually went to the Broadway in Meir; the Alhambra in Normacot and the ABC Empire and the Focus in Longton. But I paid my first visit to the Essoldo, Stoke, at the age of 13 in 1960, to see revivals of Heaven Knows Mr Allison and The Deerslayer and a week or so later, the new release of The Story of Ruth. I went back there in August, 1962, to see King of Kings; Guns in the Afternoon; Village of Daughters; The Phantom of The Opera and Captain Clegg.

Have since found out that it would have been left standing…but for the fact that “NEW LABOUR” abolished the empty buildings business tax exemption last year….pity we didnt do more …like trying to get it listed…..listed buildings are still exempt as long as they are empty….now we are going to be left with a gapeing big hole as there are no plans to build in the near future…thanks a million “new labour” how many more treasures are we gonna lose cos of their stupidity….cheaper to demolish than leave,,,mind you “new labour "have destroyed almost everything else they have touched..thank God they wont be around much longer
