Gaumont Peckham

When I worked for Top Rank Clubs as a assistant manager I was posted to Peckham having spent the summer at their club in Paignton….Gaumont Peckham was a great building….massive foyer where patrons bought bing tickest in the first foyer and then descended steps down to the larger foyer where there was a confectionery stand and a food part…we sold an enormous amount of jellied eels etc….Ther was a bar under the stage and another where the projection box would have been giving a great view of the club below….our office was at the very top of the building and I remember there being long corridors which must have encircled the interior of the building.
