Going to the pictures, as we used to say

Back then, you'd never dream of holding a party without supplying a generous number of ash trays. Or, the shag carpet would have cigarette burns on it. If an ashtray wasn't available at the eating table, people would use a dinner plate or saucer to stub their butts out on. To return to the topic of cinemas, all seats as I recall had ashtrays built into their arms. But, people would often use the floor and their feet anyway.

 

I seem to remember ashtrays built into the back of seats in the Cinemas.

Television has a lot to answer for eh?

 

Even the theatre Mr.T , with the Lyceum offering an 'All Star Yorkshire Comedy' with Ken Platt and (obviously) upcoming Morecombe and Wise. I don't think any of those three were Yorkshiremen.

Hiya Hazelmay, Here's a picture of the Coliseum Spital Hill, i've

for got what i saw there i mainly went to the Wicker.

But somut did come mind, does anyone remember a tall bloke in a

raincoat and white slippers, people use to say it was a woman but i'am

unsure, i use to see him or her often walking on Spital Hill when my mum

sent me to the tripe shop further down Spital Hill on the right.

The last film I remember seeing at the Coliseum was The Swiss Family Robinson. After it shut down we used to play inside.
