Two pictures from the staircase at the Tyneside Cinema today. This is the empty liftshaft that the stairs go around.
This is the ceiling light. Pretty impressive, isn’t it?

about Two picture Sunday - Tyneside Cinema ... posted by Beth
Such gorgeous details! Especially for a cinema!
It is very impressive indeed and I am so pleased that they have restored it. It looks even better then I remember it. I saw many excellent films at the Tyneside and we used to sit for hours watching the newsreels when in its previous form it was the News Theatre. In the 50s when TV was an expensive luxury it was the only way we could “see” the news as opposed to reading it in the newspapers.
it’s a very old cinema Hilda :)
thanks for sharing your memories again alf. love hearing it.
Great shots and I LOVE the Tyneside…

thanks dave!
didn’t know that - you learn something new every day :)
No probs! I’m sure you know that Ridley Scott is from South Shields.
