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...

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!

Yes I did, for a few years. Late 60's,70's ish!!!

Yes we are indeed still looking. I went there a couple of times and was impressed to how modern it seemed. Great photos, and many thanks for posting them.

Hi Len, Thanks for the pic of the old Danilo In the 70's and 80's I lived in Quinton, and saw many films at the then Essoldo

Hi Ozzie you might be intersested in these the dedicated threads for The Plaza's and Ritz and the Golden Eagle

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...

Great shot Lyn, thanks.

Thanks, and yes it probably was later, but it was indeed the Gaumont, where I saw these movies

Morris, Take a look at this dedicated thread https://forum.birminghamhistory.co.uk/showthread.php?t=29255

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

Thanks for this. Hope you don't mind me putting side by side with the other photograph, on the first post. Makes for good comparison.
