Hi Joan; There is a Cemetery up the road from the Deluxe, really old.
Now you have to go somewhere to get a key to go in
I think it was being vandalized
How sick is that in our day we were scared walking through a graveyard, never mind vandalizing it.
Cheers............Joyce

I spent many a good night in the Deluxe. I would go at least three times a week including the saturday morning matinee. Was really sorry to see it go.
I lived in the Caley and it was a five minute walk through the higher Grade Fitba park.

I can still picture it now( pardon the pun) the balcony which was only about 8 feet high and the the 2 side balconies which ran up both side on the cinema.
And of course you can not mention the deluxe without mentioning Victor & Nellie Brown
Great Memories
