Been up and down to Leeds half a dozen times in the last few months, for one reason and another. It's an interesting place.
And I fell in love the night before last. Look at this! There's a ticket booth, where we bought our tickets, which I don't ever remember seeing when I was a kid. And a gilded balcony, red velvet curtains, and an orange clock, which I do. No usherette with a torch and a tray of tubs and choc ices, though.

wow, that Hyde Park Picture House is a gem!! Is it still a cinema? I've never seen one like it. Do you know how old it is?

And yes, it's still working, we saw 'We need to talk about Kevin' there.
