Fantastic picture Joe. It's lovely to see all these black and white photographs, so much more atmosphere than colour.

Re: Trocette/Super Cinema tower bridge road
Hi Joe and Bermondseyboy.
I don't think I went to the picture club that often, sixpence was quite a lot of money, there was also lots to do on saturdays. I have to admit I'd forgoten about the promise, perhaps I got fed up with it and left. Those doughnuts at Edwards beckoned to.

After the Vandals went to work again and pulled down the old Cinema the organ went to South Bank University, It...
