Are you pictured at the Odeon? Do you remember going to the ABC? How about the Cannon or the Havelock?
Let’s roll with our selection of cinema scenes from through the years.

1. Chipsters at the Odeon

2. Margaret Lockwood at the Havelock
She was the star of films such as The Lady Vanishes and Night Train to Munich but here is Margaret Lockwood in Sunderland in 1947. She received a bouquet from 10 year old Jill Greaves and more than 1,000 Wearsiders waited outside to see her on stage. Photo: Sunderland Echo
