Used to go to my grandmothers every week and she used to give me sixpence to go to the pictures down Compton Road to this place called Western Picturehouse. They used to do repeats every week and they had to go over next week to find out what happened and I used to go every Saturday. Serials . Then I used to go to Hillcrest Picturehouse.

She’d give me enough money so I could get a few sweets on the way in. Every Saturday.

Grandmother always lived with my dad’s sister, my auntie all the way until she died at 94.
