I found a letter dated August 7, 1946, from the Astoria Cinema to my late husband, confirming he had got a job (The Argus, June 26). It was to start as a projectionist on August 19, 1946. Weekly wages were £1 7s 6d. On Sundays the job paid 6s 9d.
The Astoria is where I met my husband-to-be as I worked there as well, as an usherette, sales and cashier girl.
