I had a look at a map of Oswestry and putting two and two together came up with the movie house was in Willow street and that I walked down Welsh Walls. past Arundle road. Arundle road was my clue. My mothers nan was in a nursing home and died in a fire in 1961 in Smales cottage homes. Hope you don't mind my sharing this. It was quite an adventure for me in them days, I cycled from Manchester with my dad around 1950, starting at 2 AM in the Sunday morning and arrived in Oswestry around mid day Sunday had dinner at my aunts and then preceded to cycle back to Manchester arriving before midnight on the Sunday night. All my best and a Merry Christmas .
