Lost Cinemas of Acton Walk

Did you know that there was a massive Art Deco Odeon where Morrison's now stands? https://linktr.ee/nigelsmithwalksNigel does a walk of our cinema history a couple of times a month, which includes a look inside what is now the Climbing Wall, which preserves much of the Art Deco cinema it used to be.

it was a B&Q in the early 80's, very obviously a cinema interior at that time, then was demolished and the Safeway built (then became Morrisons)

And very well too. I was the one in the cap.

Ha! I'm the one who read the cat story

Ah! We met at last, Chris, albeit unknowingly.

I've heard about it, he does a few of them here a year. Well worth while i've been told, if you're interested in local history

I did the walk this morning, would highly recommend.
