About


Co-founder of Our Town Story. If you have any questions about the site, or wish to provide feedback, please visit the Admin forum and post in the appropriate place - we'll do our best to help you out as quickly as we can!

We really want Our Town Story to be an album for your old photos, to fill in the gaps in the history books of our villages, towns and cities. We would also love for those pictures to be able to help others - for instance by using reminiscence therapy in treating dementia

We're still a work in progress, and we appreciate all suggestions and observations!

Image Details

Exterior view of the Cinematograph Theatre at 164-166 Edgware Road, showing posters advertising the latest films and newsreels and billboards displaying wartime propaganda.

The building is one of eight cinemas photographed for United Electric Theatres Ltd. The Kelly directory of 1915 records the name of the organisation registered at this address as Amalgamated Cinematograph Theatres Ltd.

The building was later demolished, and became a Woolworth's, before becoming an extension to the adjoining Waitrose.
