East Ham Granada
|
|
Anybody on here remember the Beatles and the Stones at the Granada.I used to live behind the Granada Campbell Road, in the 1960's used to be chaos whenever a big band used to play there, girls screaming until the early hours.Had some top acts though.

Saturday morning pictures at East Ham Granada, packed to the rafters, policed locally by a couple of local hard nuts from Canning Town known as the Paper twins, except these were girls Linda and Leslie Paper who could put the fear of God up you.
A sing along 'we are the grenadiers......
followed by Batman and Robin or Zorro

Apparently the cafe they ate in opposite the venue sold the crockery and cutlery as collectors items!!
my mother in law saw them here.
There's a book detailing all the venues and links to London
they also played both Romford cinemas and bingo had step grand parents in romford

That building is still in good condition. Art Deco style I think. Lovely old place.

My old dear went to see the Beatles and Stones there. Quite bizarre thinking of them playing at East Ham.
