It was near the woods and I think it was near a caravan park as I recall 'escaping' one time and coming across a derelict caravan. The home was probably demolished due ...see more
Saturday mornings in the 50's were often filled by many a child with a visit to the Danilo cinema in High Green.
That building was indeed a 'People's Picture Palace' with its impressive art deco design facade and a luxurious interior dripping with chrome and rich fabrics for the huge, swathed curtains which were drawn back from the stage to reveal the screen.
