It was painful growing up there without a cinema. Closest was in Morpeth or the Wallaw in Blyth, where I saw the Exorcist in the early 90s. Used to spend our school lunch breaks in the video hire shop on Station Road. Wish I'd known off Mik when starting in photography back then.
Mik said they had loads of unused original posters for films going back decades. I imagine they were all discarded when the cinema was converted into shops. They’d be worth a fortune these days.
