1950s · The Odeon
Saturday matinees and first dates
told by Veronica Marshall · Kingstanding resident

A regular at the Saturday matinee — Roy Rogers and Trigger, Gene Autry — who once lost her teddy bear when a friend borrowed it during a screening. Years later she used the cinema as a courting spot, waiting outside on chilly evenings.
Gathered by the Voices of Kingstanding project and the Birmingham History Forum, and shared with thanks.
