EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in the history of Wallaw Cinema, located in Ashington, Northumberland. It was taken on the 30th of July, 1982, after the final credits rolled on the film "Annie" and just before its closure. The image showcases two key figures who were part of this iconic establishment: projectionist Denis Cleough wearing a white shirt and manageress Jean Herron standing to his right. The photograph serves as a reminder of an era when cinemas like Wallaw were at their peak popularity. However, it also symbolizes the decline that many such venues faced during this time period. The exterior scene shows a building that once buzzed with entertainment but now stands closed and empty. Geoff Hewitt's skillful composition evokes nostalgia for those who remember visiting Wallaw Cinema during its heyday. It invites viewers to reflect on the changing landscape of the film industry and how technological advancements have transformed our movie-watching experiences. This print is not just about capturing a moment frozen in time; it tells a story of an entire industry grappling with closures and declining audiences. It is a testament to the power of images to preserve memories and provoke contemplation about our ever-evolving world.
