Granada Theatre (Gala / Buzz Bingo), Tooting. The Hall of Mirrors lies under the rear of the balcony, providing a crossover for patrons.
Opened as the Granada Theatre in September 1931, designed by Cecil Masey, with interior design by Theodore Komisarjevsky, and murals by Lucien le Blanc, recreated by Alex Johnstone. It seated 3,104 (1,354 in the balcony), was equipped with a full stage (the screen was flown into the flytower), a café, a 4 manual/14 rank Wurlitzer organ and a staff of 85. It closed suddenly as a cinema in November 1973, and lay disused until converted for bingo in 1976. Grade 2* listed in 1972, this was upgraded to Grade 1 in 2000.

Some pictures taken by the late Michael Cleary. Early 1999. This would have been before 30th January as that is when the route was converted back to double-deck. The driver has already changed the blind ready for the return journey.

Another from yesterday's museum trip. One of the fantastic things about the museum is the access one is afforded to the locomotives and carriages.

Can I shamelessly toot my horn? Palm Press Publishers bought the rights to use my doggy image for 2012 Christmas cards. My sister-in-law said she saw the cards at Barnes & Noble so I drove over this morning and sure enough there it was. They only had one box left......!
The only thing that would have made this better is if the photo was of Jasmine.
I am feeling blue over the passing of my Flickr friend's cat Jake. Please visit her stream if you have a moment.

This ex-Sunderland District AN is about to turn right to reach the Tooting Broadway terminus. In the background is the legendary Granada cinema. This is, believe it or not, a 'Grade 1' listed building. The only cinema to have this status!
