Hi

My late uncle was the projectionist for many many years at the odeon before moving to the picture house when it became a cinema, he made a video regarding it's history quite some years ago, my dad has the videos but they are currently on VHS, I think it includes some pictures of how it was I've not viewed them for a long time though

Wow, Floss67, what a glamorous job your uncle had. That was tantamount to being a celebrity! Have you watched Cinema Paradiso? If not, you must get hold of a copy and think of your uncle. My all-time favourite film.

I would certainly be interested in seeing this video, as I'm sure other people who have a keen interest in Stafford and its history. I'm sure the Records Office would also be interested - it's an important piece of Stafford and its past.
