Emma's first post...
"Finally I get a chance to talk about the interesting people of our great city.I thought I would start with Gary Cosby.An aficionado of Belfast cinemas. Gary was one of the projectionists at the Curzon cinema which is sadly no longer with us now. A world i never really thought about until i spied miniture cardboard buildings in a local bar called Bittles (a Belfast secret to some, go and check out the political amusing art by Joe Okane) after a brief chat with Gary who happened to be standing at the bar as i marveled at what i now knew to be ten mini replicas of old cinemas, The Park,The Windsor, The Picturedrome, Alpha, Lido, Mayfair, Majestic, Odeon and ABC. You can now come and view these truly curious little cinemas at Craftworkshop 29 Wellington Place, I hope you find them interesting as much as i do. Our curiousitea corner has many old Belfast memories we are so pleased to be able to open up for view Garys archive of unseen cinema photographs. As owner of Craftworkshop i would be sad to see the cinemas go as the amount of people that smile and reminisce whilst huddled around the cinemas chatting about days gone by I find it hard to put a price on them. Dare I say I have been offered nearly £1000 for the collection. I may just buy them myself for the shop to keep the curiousitea going!
