My mum took me to see that when I was a little un.Mum and Dad went to Frank a Peggy Spencer's dance classes next door early 60's. I Saw my first ever Cinema Film there "Dougal and the Blue Cat" about 1971. Seen many a film there since. Anyone remember the old lady that used to sit on the steps with her pram selling papers?

I can only remember seeing one film there. 'Waterloo' in the mid '70s. I think it was a special showing because the film was made several years earlier in 1970.Well, as a child, the (then) Essoldo cinema in Penge High Street was still referred to by everyone as the 'Empire' - it's former name as the Penge Empire Theatre.
