The Broadway Cinema, Letchworth Garden City, Hertfordshire

There was a time when people used to line up down the road to see a film at this cinema. The longest wait I ever saw was for the film Grease, my sister saw it four or five times!

There used to be another cinema next door the Palace, sadly knocked down, for a branch of W H Smith Do It All. (focus).
