    Birmingham Nightclubs of the Past - Memories

    Can I ask the admin team to sort out this forum. It is getting fragmented with some threads about the same nightclubs and venues!! Members are not checking the forum to see if there is a thread already in existence, before starting a new one! I tried a couple of years back to consoliodate posts...

    The Cinephone

    Great and interesting clip Terry, thanks for posting. Ironic how at the time they were the most modern and futuristic cinemas, and today most don't exist!

    When I was a kid, I saw Roy, Dale and Trigger at The Plaza Theatre in West Bromwich. He asked all the kids who were wearing cowboy suits onto the stage and we all, one by one had the treat of sitting on top of Trigger. He gave us all a blue Lone Star gun as a gift. Only wish I still had it...

    Besides watching TSOM five or six times. The Gaumont was also the 'Cinerama' cinema. I saw How The West Was Won, It's A Mad, Mad, World, and Fall of the Roman Empire there
