We used to go to the Mayfair on Saturday afternoon. The ‘tupenny crush’ thing. All the kids in there would throw bits of paper at each other. Good fun! I would go to the Odean on the morning sometimes and the Mayfair on the afternoon. They showed cowboys and Indians, Buck Rogers and Hopalong Cassidy. Then you had Flash Gordon which was a bit rubbish when you come to think of it. It was great at the time though.
