The Gaumont Picture House


In those days we went regularly to the cinema, or "pictures' as we would have said: to the Rex, the Albion, the Carlton, but most often, I think, to the Gaumont in North Shields.  My mother always called it the Prince's - its original name.  We also went there each year for the Gang Show.  I was delighted to discover that the magnificent organ, originally installed in 1929 to accompany silent films, has found a new home in Australia.  Read the story here.
