Happy with that, admit 1/9 was some what tongue in cheek a figure stuck in my mind from those far off days.
Queens, a very nice drink, well worth the extra 1d, believe same applied with J Smiths Best and Magnet and the 1d would get you from't Lane down to Norfolk Market Hall. We allu's walked though.
Pedantic, being am I, 1/0d = 1/- , it,s mi marking up in't markets coming out.
Certainly were.

Many an all nighter there

Very early 70’s. Deffo near Wicker Arches,( cannot remember the cinema name) showing mucky films in the afternoon , went with four mates after a few drinks and it really was like you would see on Benny Hill. There was about a dozen men in and honestly they all had raincoats on( warm day as well), a couple of mixed couples doing a lot of shuffling about. Didn’t stay too long it was a bit uncomfortable to be honest, had a good laugh though.
Not sure could have been No7 ? . Or was it 69.

Studio 7.....................I've been told.

Studio 5, 6 and 7.

 

[Eddiecolquhounsleg]

I think it was originally called the Wicker Cinema and then Studio 7 before being converted to Studio 5,6 and 7

Great photo this. Park Square roundabout in all its glory pre supertram flyover. I was in town as a 16 year old when it burned down. 1984 i think.Bit surreal. I'll post one that's probably a bit later than yours. Remember these litter bins?

Never had the pleasure. I'd only recently been introduced to indian food as a 15 year old. Shapla moorfoot. Clearly remember the multicoloured pilau rice. Not sure it's served anywhere anymore. Sure somebody will put me right.
