LAST week a few of us senior citizens were sat around in the market seats and we got talking about the picture houses around Preston around 50 years ago.

We remembered 17, and two live shows - at the Hippodrome Palace - and about five dance halls.

We'd like to hear from anyone who can remember any more.
