EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the glamorous era of 1930s cinema, capturing the magnificent exterior view of the Granada Cinema in Woolwich, Greenwich. Standing proudly on Powis Street, this architectural gem showcases a stunning front elevation that exudes art deco and modernist influences. The image instantly draws our attention to the vibrant advertising display for the 1937 film "Good Morning, Boys" which promises an exciting personal appearance by one of its stars, Will Hay. This glimpse into cinematic history reminds us of a time when going to the movies was not just about watching a film but also experiencing the thrill of seeing beloved actors up close. As we take in this snapshot from yesteryears, we can't help but imagine ourselves among those gathered outside this iconic venue. The bustling scene hints at a crowd eagerly awaiting their chance to catch a glimpse of stardom and immerse themselves in the magic of cinema. Felton's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the grandeur of Granada Cinema's architecture and its significance as a cultural hub where people came together to enjoy films that transported them beyond their everyday lives. It serves as a reminder that these spaces were more than mere buildings; they were places where dreams were realized and memories were made. Through this remarkable photo print, Historic England invites us to step back in time and relish in the nostalgia evoked by this enchanting slice of London's past.
