Members of We Grew Up in Hereford have been reminiscing about trips to the cinema in Hereford.
The picture shows the old Odeon cinema in High Town that was demolished in the 1980s to make way for the Maylord Orchards Shopping Centre.
The building that became the 'new' Odeon when the one in High Town was replaced was the ABC cinema in Commercial Road that was formally the Ritz.
John Price has fond memories of them both.
He said the Odeon was his favourite but the ABC/Ritz was good as well, and that him and his friends just went to whichever was showing what we wanted to watch.

He recalls ashtrays on all the seats, saying that you couldn't see the screen for smoke sometimes.
He said the usherette showed you to your seat with a torch, then walked up and down the aisles selling ice creams and drinks.
The first film he saw was The Longest Day.
He remembers cycling in from Weobley and they wouldn't let him in, as he was too young.
He said: "We hung around outside until someone took us in with them."
Deirdre Lloyd remembers going to the Ritz to see an infamous horror film.
She said: " I remember going to the Ritz to see the Exorcist and waiting outside to get in and watching people coming out looking very sickly indeed."
Carmel Robinson remembers the old Kemble Theatre from the outside when it was showing films in Broad Street.
She was too young to go before it closed in 1959.
However she remembers her mum saying that she was an usherette there in her teens.
The main thing that John Perkins remembered about the Kemble was that when you leant backwards in your seat, the whole row would tilt back in unison.
Many a day was spent in the cinema for Mr Price.
He said: "You could go in when it opened and stay until it closed. What was better on a cold wet afternoon, find somewhere dark and you were sorted."
