Re The Little Angels at the T&C - that was my first ever gig! I'd love to see the video... Oh, and I'd love to take a look at the old cinema... xthe little angels gig was fantastic, saw them a few months afterwards at milton keynes but just wasn't a patch on the T&C atmosphere. will have to have a nostalgic watch of the video!

The downstairs entrance is now blocked off and is occupied by cash machines (opposite Morrisons).There should be a thread on old cinemas with pictures of what they have become - there's several in the centre now converted to shops or other uses which you wouldn't notice unless you knew they were there. I have a nice book at home that I bought a few years ago which has pictures of many of these places when they were open - most are still there, and if you look above shop fronts on places like Briggate the old facades are still recognisable.One example is the building next to the Angel pub - the wall opposite the seats and tables in the outdoor courtyard is the wall of the old cinema, with an old exit (possibly just a fire exit).
