I seem to remember there being two picture places in Edgar Street, the Empire and the Princess.... I think the Princess did afternoon matines, and across the road was the Observer and Telegraph offices, with the Blockade at the bottom of the street.
We used to play in the hippodrome as kids, and there was a lot of stuff still inside. I can recall all the seating being intact, and the fire curtain stuck at half way down.... We stopped sneaking in after a lad fell to his death from the roof, and to this day I can still remember the ring on the road (ellison st.) where he met his end....bit gruesome but as kids you tend to remember things.... the lad was I think called David Masterman...
