As the projectors prepare to roll in the Salford (Rex) Cinema once again, local historian Tony Flynn offers an illustrated whistle-stop tour of Cinema in Salford, from 1901 to the present. Discover what our ancestors were watching at the turn of the 20th Century, and how quickly audiences grew for this new form of entertainment. See the development of the screening venue from converted garages and church halls to elaborately designed, plushly carpeted picture palaces. A chance to celebrate and to mourn the passing of the golden age of Cinema exhibition. And then a chance to relive it, with three days of special film screenings.
