Dancing to the likes of the Beatles, The Searchers, Swinging Blue Jeans and many more - then leaving there to stand and blether to your pals before getting the last bus home along the Perth Road because if I wasn't home on the last bus then woe betide me because my father would be waiting for me and I would get a lecture that would last for 15 minutes or more. Even before that I remember my grandma taking me to nearly every picture house in the town. The first one being the Wizard of Oz at the La Scala then going home on the tram. Oh how I loved the journey along past the Seabraes where I could look across the water - great days that stick in your mind forever.<span class="read-more"><a href="/reminiscences/dundee-sixties"><strong>&nbsp;Read more......</strong></a></span></p> Millar's Wynd Peddie Street Perth Road 1960's Childhood Cinema / Theatre Dancing / Dance Halls Fashion Food and Drink Trams Pauline Stewart Hawkhill Thu, 17 Mar 2011 14:32:02 +0000 lynne.davidson 721 at http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk/reminiscences/picture-houses <p><span class='wysiwyg_imageupload image imgupl_floating_right imgupl_styles_spacing_20_black_border\n\rBlack Border'><a href="http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk/sites/default/files/imagecache/wysiwyg_imageupload_lightbox_preset/wysiwyg_imageupload/9/princess.png" rel="lightbox[wysiwyg_imageupload_inline]" title=""><img src="http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk/sites/default/files/imagecache/medium/wysiwyg_imageupload/9/princess.png" alt="" title="" class="imagecache wysiwyg_imageupload imgupl_styles_spacing_20_black_border\n\rBlack Border imagecache imagecache-medium" style="" width="230" height="165" /></a> <span class='image_meta'></span></span>I was born in the hackie in 1947, the Princess, the State, the Regal, Grays, and that was the picture houses. It was great. I went to the washie in Millar's Wynd with Ma. Went to the scrubers and had a bath. We had nothing but we were happy.</p> Millar's Wynd 1940's Cinema / Theatre Jackie Hawkhill Tue, 15 Mar 2011 14:31:34 +0000 lynne.davidson 680 at http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk
