Work seems to have come to a standstill again outside. I do hope the remainder of the exterior is done before the really bad weather sets in. Still, it’s in much better shape than last year.
The video page has an extra video now, the Channel M report from last year. And for somne reason, all my menu items have moved about – any experts on WordPress out there?
Longford and Essoldo Cinema Stretford 
Yes the building is certainly in better shape.
In 1959 the Essoldo Cinema, Chorlton-cum Hardy, was advertising “John Wayne in The Barbarian and the Geisha”. Check out the photo. By complete coincidence Film4 has played this film, twice this week. Check out Screen 4 on my website where you can watch and enjoy what the cinema-goers of the 50s would have seen in their day.
