Goldthorpe had a cinema?

Yes, the Empire on High Street. Every mining village had a cinema. In
Bentley it was the Coliseum, known as the Coller. I used to go to the
matinees to see Roy Rogers but

one week a kid took an air rifle in and shot the bloke who was reading
out the lucky ticket prize.

Blimey. I'm glad the kids have calmed down from those days. Maybe
smartphones have some good effect after all.


They stopped the matinees for a while after that. No sense of humour.
