Welcome To My World !

The World of
"Picture  Palaces  Past  and Present"
 
A World of Photographs and Memories
of a "Bye-Gone Age"
.

A World of remembering sitting in the "Back Row" of your local cinema. (Now sadly demolished)

With your "Girlfriend" now possibly your Wife of Many Years.

And watching on a Small Screen, before there was

 CinemaScope...

Susan Hayward, Ginger Rogers & Fred Astaire

John Wayne, Jane Russell, Marilyn Monroe,

and all the other "Immortal Stars"

That made all our lives happier then !

I Am a Ex-Chief Projectionist and Press Photographer.
I have taken over 3000 cinema photographs
from 1948 to the Present Day.
 
I must say a big "Thank You" to all the Managers,
Chief Projectionists, and All The Other Staff,
who have helped me over the last Sixty Years
to photograph their cinemas.
Many that have now "Passed Into History."
Now all that remains are
 
The Memories and The Photographs.
