The post on the history forum about the old Pink and Green editions of the M£N & Chronicle reminded me of the old days when the cinema page liste what was on at all the old Manchester flicks - there were wonderful names like the Roxy, Hollinwood, the Cintra, Harpurhey, the little Tudor cinema down a back street in Didsbury, the Trocadero in Rusholme, the Coronation in Northenden (basically a tin shack), probably a Rialto somewhere, the list covered a whole page of broadsheet, virtually all long gone.
Many were fleapits, but that was the heyday of cinema. I wish I could remember more names.
Anyone care to jog my memory? Thanks.
