Oceana-The End 22:40 - Jul 22 with 7899 viewsjack2jack

Was in town today and took a couple of photos of the former Top Rank,Oceana,depending on your era.
I'm sure there are some happy memories of the place.

Yeah I saw it today. Chuffing great big hole isn't it; you don't get an idea of how deep it is from the photos.

Memories of the Odeon/Top Rank

Saturday morning film club in the mid 70's they were still showing Flash Gordon from the 30's!

My 1st ever gig - Squeeze

Loads of great films in the late 80's and early 90's

And well a few other things best kept private...

First film I saw there was Diamonds are Forever 1971 it think,that's when you had two films,usually something like a Norman Wisdom before the main film,if my memory serves me right.The missus saw Wham and The Smith's there in the early 80s

Didn't a band member die on stage there once, or was that a different club?

I want a mate like Flashberryjacks, who wears a Barnsley jersey with "Swans are my second team" on the back.

Also remember the film club well.

And I have vague (thank God) memories of going on a number of occasions to the roller disco :-)

Used to be hard to get into an 'X' film in that Odeon aged 14 or 15. Much easier in the Castle...

Saw the Yessongs film there - middle/late 70s? Can't remember exactly.

Also ended up in the Top Rank on my stag night.
