castle cinema

I had a Saturday job in the late 50s working for scibbins bakery I must of been 14 years old still at school we always stopped at the Kwicksnax cafe seem to be a popular place
for milk and bread delivery vans co-op, Harveys, and scibbins
 
I see most of the pictures have gone. I think these are the only ones I have. The first one is where it is being demolished, early 60's.

No, all the pictures are of the Castle cinema, Castle Bromwich. Post #1 starts off by asking for pictures of the castle bromwich one, also see post #20.

Wasn’t it a Wimpy bar at one time? I seem to remember having a burger there once. That was before McDonalds appeared over here.
