OMG, I recognised that straightaway!

The "REX", Saturdays, my sister Maureen (RIP) taking four siblings up Queens Crescent, a short-cut through the garages, and onto the High Road, onto the REX..

WOW..a 'B' feature, cartoon, and the main film...can't remember the title of a single film!!! but the childhood experience? Amazing!!

Thanks, Norman, for that photo, and reviving happy memories!!

As I have mentioned a few times on the board we lived in Kent Avenue behind the Rex and I watched it being built from our sitting room window. The contractor was Stephen Buy. I remember going to the opening night.

One of the epic films I saw at the Rex was The Robe.
