A FEW weeks ago in Looking Back we took a journey down Memory Lane to the days of the Premier Cinema.
Well this week, Patricia Ann Hulme has been in touch with her memories of the Premier which stood on Powell Street in Latchford.
It had room for more than 400 people and was open for almost four decades.
She said: "As a child we got one shilling pocket money, 9 pence for the cinema and 3 pence for a lolly ice.
"Each Saturday afternoon, the whole street queued outside the cinema to get the front seats.
"Out parents got a peaceful afternoon, Happy days."
The Premier Cinema opened in the early 1920s. It had an 18 feet wide proscenium.
The Premier was closed in September 1959.
It was then used by a furniture removals firm.
