The supermarket is IGA(Penshurst IGA). There is also a liquor store. Name of the fitness club unknown?
Brian’s – I have a photo of the old Mortdale Paramount Cinema in Railway Pde.
I also used to go to the movie shows at Penshurst Odeon Theatre. My last time was to see “First Men In The Moon” in January 1965. Not long afterwards it was sold to the “Tom The Cheap” supermarket chain and closed. During the early part of the building’s conversion to a supermarket, it was badly damaged by fire. This occurred on the afternoon of Friday, April 8, 1966…fifty years ago this very day.
I was raised in Penshurst from 1946 and went to this theatre for many years. It was open well past 1954 as I and my family remember going there in our teens at least, making that the late 1950s.
Shame there are no photos of the neighbouring Mortdale cinema as we went there almost every week.
