More about this scene
In the one hundred years following the building of the Peak Forest Canal in 1801 the population of Romiley tripled. This quiet residential road is very close to the centre of the town, yet even that fact has not saved the cinema on the left from demolition. The site has now been used for the building of a block of flats.

I live in the US. In a desk that we purchased years ago in an antique shop, we found a certificate that says: The Royal Drawing Society's Exhibition, "The Children's Royal Academy" London, Highly Commended, Julie Woodhead (aged 13-14) Convent of the Nativity, Romiley, for Two Pictorial Compositions. 4 Entries, May 1965, R.R. Tomlinson, President. If this is yours, please let me know and I will send it to you. Michelle Witzel witzel@comcast.net
My memories of the Savoy are of learning to ride a 2 wheeler bike in front on the wide pavement and of everybody dancing there when the war was over. Then of going to the cinema on Saturday mornings when Mr Scroggins used to keep all the children in order. They are happy memories.
