RichardB Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 The film The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp burst into flames during a show at the Don Cinema, West Bar. The projectionist put the fire out with an extinguisher and a blanket before the fire brigade arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoldlamplighter Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I lived in Bridge Street in the 50`s, On the right side of the don was a entry and it lead into the front seating area. There was always some old guy sitting just inside the door that led to the outside toilets. I would wait until someone came out then walk in and nod to the old guy and not once did he stop me watching for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
