Hi does anyone remember or have any pictures of the Raymar in West Malling in Kent, loved that cinema!

Oh yes I remember it well. I lived in Addington and was away at boarding school for a long time. In the holidays I was mostly alone at home in the day as Dad was at work and got in about 900pm. I went to see my first "X" film there at the age [hopefully] of 18. It was "Heaven fell that night" with Brigitte Bardot. Very tame by today's standards of course and I understand that it got an X certificate by virtue of the fact that someone was hit over the head with a statue of the Virgin Mary! On the way back it was dark and I was cycling along the A20 [on the footpath] without lights. There was a policeman lurking and we had a heated discussion. In those days they did not have anything better to do!

The earlier post has - over the passage of time - clouded my mind. "The film was apparently "The Night Heaven Fell"
