Cinecity- withington...... Would be a disservice to call it a shithole but even the rats turned there nose up at the popcorn!!

I remember when it was the Scala.

Next door was the White Lion - bring your own bodyguard.

Off topic,but does anyone in that area remember the pub with the parrot outside,it was in the early 70s I remember getting the 169 or 170 bus then walking past this pub,think I was on my way to the Old clock inn full of nurses and students in those day's.

I can't remember the names of the cinemas but I'm convinced I went to see Muppet's Christmas Carol at the cinema that is now the Moon Under Water Pub on Deansgate.

It was called the ABC.

Saw lots of films there but going to see Jaws is the only one that I can name.

Thinking about, probably saw ET there.

My local cinema for many years. Used to go to the Majestic in Macc a lot too.

The Gaumont in Manchester (turned into Rotters) was a grand old cinema; not far from the Odeon.

not sure what it was called as a cinema but the one in denton was a bingo hall called the barcliffe.

as a kid i would visit the Magnet on old church street, right next door was the Pavillion. the Magnet was 6d to get in and the Pavillion was 9d. guess where we went? lol.
before that we lived in collyhurst so when we have a spare tanner we went to the saturday matinee at the essoldo. when really flush we would have a bar six to munch on.
saw paint your wahon at the fourways, me mam and dad had taken me to maine road for a game, we'd get the 25 bus home to amos avenue. when we got to our stop they didn't budge so i just sat there with them as the bus sailed past our house. we got off the stop before the gardners arms and then they revealed the second treat of the day, "we are going to the pictures". i was beside myself at having to treats in a day :)

bless them. i'd ruin them if they were still here.

HaHa Lurch what a killjoy he was.

Was that the old fella who used to walked up and down the line shouting at anyone who dared to make so much as a noise? Could be my mind playing tricks but didn't he have a stick and an eye patch??

Think he may have had a patch later on in life but definetley had a walking stick and black NHS glasses.

Not seen a film at the flics since they knocked this great place down.

Oh yer the classic stockport no longer with us.

The Tatton in Gatley was my local.

By the time it finally shut it's doors it had almost become the first ever 4 D cinema as the smell from the Indian restaurant next door was like smellovision . Watching a film there you were bleedin starving by the end of it.
