They used to do a cake called a "Cream Crisp" about the size of a small dinner plate which was just puff pastry and about 2 inches of cream and jam in them. They were lovely!! Mind you I can feel my cholesterol rising just thinking about them!!
I remember as a very small kid seeing a western at The Gaiety. All I can remember about it was that it had the biggest bar-room brawl of any film before or since.
Something else that was really magical when I was a kid was seeing in the Echo, adverts for the arious "Santas Grotto`s" that the department stores had, and then getting excited when I was taken to one of them. I think that, for a kid, the Edwin Jones (Debenhams) one was fantastic. Where has all that childhood magic gone nowadays??
