Reel Streets - British Film Locations 1920's To 1980's
Description
The author, John Tunstill, was born in North London in 1939, went to the "Coronation" cinema, in the High Road of New Southgate, at least once a week with his mother; the cinema became a furniture showroom; the programmes were changed every three days, with a one day show on Sundays of "old" films.
He remembers hiding under the seats when a V1, a flying bomb, went over, cut its engine, and exploded near the "Standard" cable works in Friern Barnet. The screen flickered for a moment and the audience resumed their seats and continued to watch George Formby in one of his classics, which showed the Isle of Man, TT races and Douglas, do you recall the title?
His mis-spent youth was often engaged by the offerings at his other local cinemas, the Odeon and Gaumont in North Finchley, and the ABC Ritz in Bounds Green, all in North London. The Odeon is now a motor car showroom, the Gaumont has gone, and the ABC is a mosque.
