Old photos thread 📷 20:54 - Feb 6 with 1582 views | Swansea_Blue | Kicking this off after the Terry Butcher fishing thread. It’s a repeat to get the thread started. I thought it might be nice to have a place for people to post photos of memories that may be of interest to the forum. They could be ITFC-related (of course) or of the town and the wider area, or from farther afield if you think it’s of interest. Your photos or others you’ve found are all welcome. A boring one to start - the River Gipping at Riverside Road car park. 85/86 |  |

I can just about make out 'Flash Gordon,' which I remember going to see there, so it makes that picture 1980 (ish). Hurting my eyes to make out any others! |  |

Omg I just about remember that place. Isn't that the bottom of Lloyds avenue? Kind of near Debenhams? |  | |  |

No. You're thinking of the old Odeon where Top Rank bingo went. The ABC was in the Buttermarket. You can just about see the edge of the Ancient Bookhouse in the foreground. |  |

Oh well done… I can see that now …. BUT… (and I’m spending far too much time on this) is it in fact “FLESH Gordon” the 1973 sex comedy ? I read the cinema had a refurb in 1973 too which might be the reason for the photo. |  |

I often find myself scanning through that ipswich society Flickr account, so had seen these, though obviously not linked them to a twtd legend. |  |
