Curzon Chelsea Cinema, London. Pictured on its last day of operation, 31st March 2018 83 years after the first film was shown, demolition approaches. Designed by WE Trent and Ernest F Tulley, the Gaumont Palace opened on 8th December 1934 with 2,502 seats in stalls and balcony - the was a full stage and a Compton Organ with an illuminated console. It was renamed Odeon in 1963 and was rebuilt internally - the stalls becoming a habitat store, a new 739 seat cinema in the balcony and the stage house was converted to flats. Closed in 1981, it reopened as an art house cinema, known as the Chelsea Cinema in 1983, operated by Artifical Eye. When that company merged with Curzon, the cinema was renamed for a final time. Under threat from redevelopment for several years, the Curzon finally closed in March 2018 with "Stalker" as a special matinee and a live transmission from the Metropolitan Opera in the evening. The redevelopment will retain the facade and will include a three screen cinema with a 400 seat large auditorium to be run by Curzon.

Pair of leather men’s Chelsea boots with a winkle picker toe. Winkle pickers are a style of shoe or boot that came about in the 1950s and were predominately worn by British rock and roll fans used to develop a distinctive look of their own. They are famed for their extremely sharp and long toe and are often compared to or reminiscent of medieval footwear. The name winkle picker derives from the popular seaside snack ‘winkles’ that were eaten using a pin to remove the soft parts of the coiled shell which the phrase ‘to winkle something out’ is coined from. It is from this that winkle pickers became a humorous name for shoes that had an unusually looking pointed toe.
‘Repeat at bedtime “Point your shoes toward the street, tie your garters around your feet, put your stockings under your head, and you’ll dream of the one you’re going to wed.”’ (Emrich, D. The Folklore of Love and Courtship, 1970).
Chelsea is in the White River valley of Orange County, fourteen miles south of Barre. This charming farm was at the south end of town, across the road from the bed and breakfast where I was staying. Taken in May, 1985.

A 4 page Programme from 1945 for this war time Cup Final. Chelsea winning 2-0 in front of a gate of 90,000.
This is an anonymously published postcard dating from about 1910 showing the old Chelsea Barracks from Chelsea Bridge Road. The barracks were built by George Morgan in 1862 to house two battalions of infantry. This building was demolished in the early 1960s and two thirteen storey tower blocks were built to replace them. In 2005 it was decided to sell the site for housing with Westminster City Council stipulating that 50% be affordable housing. The site was purchased in 2007 by a Qatari company for nearly One billion pounds, their plan is to build seven garden squares containing what they call residences which I think are flats or apartments, Town Houses and Penthouses. The blurb on the company’s website claims that the site is the most coveted 12.8 acres in the world so where the affordable housing fits into that, I don’t know. The railings shown in the photograph have been retained and after refurbishment by a firm in Scotland they will be reinstated on site, the garrison chapel has also been retained and will form part of the new development.

The first Chelsea Bridge, named Victoria Bridge was proposed in the 1840s as part of a major development of marshlands on the South bank of The Thames into the new Battersea Park and opened in 1857. Although well received architecturally, as a toll-bridge it was unpopular with the public. The bridge was less of a commercial success than had been anticipated, partly because of competition from the newly built Albert Bridge nearby.
The bridge was narrow and structurally unsound, leading the authorities to rename it Chelsea Bridge to avoid the Royal Family's association with a potential collapse. In 1926, with the bridge unable to handle increased volumes of users, caused by population growth and the introduction of the automobile, it was proposed that the old bridge be rebuilt or replaced. Between 1934 and 1937 it was demolished and replaced by the current structure, which opened in 1937. The new bridge was the first self-anchored suspension bridge in Britain.
During the early 1950s it became popular with motorcyclists, who staged regular races across the bridge. One such meeting in 1970 erupted into violence, resulting in the death of one man and the imprisonment of 20 others.
Chelsea Bridge is floodlit from below during the hours of darkness, when the towers and cables are illuminated by 285m of light-emitting diodes. In 2004 a smaller bridge perpendicular to the main bridge Battersea footbridge was opened beneath the southern span from where this was shot, carrying The Thames Path underneath the main bridge.
At the Hotel Chelsea
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
You were famous, your heart was a legend
You told me again you preferred handsome men
But for me you would make an exception
And clenching your fist for the ones like us
Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty
You fixed yourself, you said, "Well never mind,
We are ugly but we have the music"
-Leonard Cohen (to Janis Joplin)
El Quijote has been in business since 1930 and is located inside the historic #Chelsea Hotel but has its own entrance. The Chelsea Hotel which was built in the 1880s, was sold in 2011 to a developer who closed the hotel for a major renovation project. The #hotel exterior with its Queen Anne #architecture is landmarked and cannot be altered. Photo from 2009 and full text about the #Spanish restaurant, El Quijote including an interview with the 2nd generation owner appear in our book "New York Nights". Our hearts go out to everyone affected by the bomb explosion which took place on 23rd Street very close to the hotel and restaurant. We hope everyone stays safe.
