What was there before the Roxy/Cinema

Just shows how old and out of touch I am, I was just about to dive in and tell you about the Roxy but the only Roxy I know is/was on Idsworth Road at Page Hall. If still there, it's probably a Bingo Hall too.

 

It was a bingo hall in the 80s, my Nan used to go there. It's a furniture place now, and half derelict. You can see the front steps in a scene in The Full Monty. :)

Wasn't it the Fiesta or was that next door?

Myself and some friends booked to see Tony Christie at the Fiesta (1973?), but he had to cry out due to illness.

Norman Wisdom was drafted in as a last minute replacement. I was originally a bit disppappointed as Norman was seen as a bit of an old fogie, but it turned out to be one of the greatest nights of my life. He was so very funny. The kind of funny that still keeps you laughing on the last bus home.

What a man.
