I saw half a film here back in the mid sixties. My Gran used to live further along Church Street and when my 6yo brother and I, 9yo, were taken one summer school holidays by my deaf and disabled uncle to see a film. I don’t know if he knew what the film was about so we settled in to watch it and half way through the shooting started. The army uniforms were First World War and an open top 4 door car was their transport. I later think the film had a Irish 1916 Easter rising connection. Anyway as soon as some of the soldiers were shot, fake blood splatted their uniforms and that was enough for my Uncle. He grabbed both of us and out!! Shame I was enjoying the shooting but my little brother was my Uncle’s concern as he was very young. It was a small cinema and dank and dusty if I remember, rather classified as a flea pit type, but it was 5 minutes from Gran’s.
