Odeon staff 1940s
« on: Thursday 28 January 10 16:05 GMT (UK) »
I can't be 100% sure but I believe that this photo may be of the staff of the Odeon cinema Manchester taken sometime in the 1940s. I have just posted it out of interest in case someone recognises a relative. The man standing front row on the right was Albert Rockett who was married to my great aunt. He was a theatre then cinema manager and was manager for a time at the Odeon. I am not looking for any particular information about this image; I just wanted to share it with any interested Rootschatters.

A little update to the Odeon photo: it is also possible that this was taken at the Odeon in Warrington where Albert also spent some time, I think as manager.
