The Ritz Cinema - part 2

At last - the moment you have been waiting for (well, at least the moment I have been waiting for)... A photograph of The Ritz Cinema on Travis Street Hyde. Taken just before its demolition in 1981. Also, note the Lads Club still there in its entirety...happy days indeed.



This fabulous photo was very kindly sent to us by Eric Downs - Thanks so much, Eric - You are a star! :)

Thanks for the memories. I used to box & play table tennis at Hyde Lads Club. I also remember coming out of the Ritz one night and it was so foggy I couldn't see my hand in front of my face. How I got home to 17 Syddall street was pure luck!! Like a homing pigeon I was LOL.
