Plymouth Cinema 1960s
« on: Thursday 12 August 04 12:54 BST (UK) »
G'day I'm trying to trace a relative called Pim Whitford who
ran a cinema in Plymouth in 1960s. He was researching his
family in about 67-68.  If I do a search on cinemas I only
get tourism related and if I include his name I get news of
one or another Identity talking about tourism ... could anybody suggest where I might start looking. Thanks
