Showing the Methodist Chapel and the ”Grand Cinema”, High Street Brotton. Eric Johnson tells us: ”the Grand had ’double seats at the back’ for couples; and that’s as much as I am prepared to say”. Jon advises: “My grand parents and my father used the Grand Cinema as a bingo hall; from around the late sixties to the early seventies, before selling the building back to the Council. It started as a prize bingo later converted to a money bingo; back then you could still see how the old cinema was.”
