Evelyn Fryer remembers early visits to Barber’s Picture Palace in Tunstall:
"We ‘ad to walk from Turnhurst to Tunstall ... there was no buses then ... I went there, as a little girl, and me Dad always insisted we went upstairs, out of the rough stuff ... They had an organ and Mr Longshaw, from Packmoor, used to play it while the film was on, and it was silent, black and white, and the words ran along the bottom, so you knew what they were saying."
