Directly opposite Cinema, is the Local cemetry, which when I was little was closer.. and complete with lich Gate. Apart from coming out of the Cinema Far to quick and ending up in there. This added to the post viewing of any Dracula Film… Hmm when misty.

Thanks CSWalczak.. That has confirmed a discussion this week I had with my elder cousin. (Spooky) It went through 3 Phases.. 1st Totally Corrogated same plan and look as Palace brownhills. 2nd Phase Tarted up Brick Frontage 3rd Phase “The Avion Alridge” A Real modern Frontage was put on. One side wall was also done in Brick. I looked at this in the 60’s as a possible re-opening. (When I was mad about taking over cinemas) But the roof and the remaining steel wall was rusted away..
