What a thrill to win this model of the School of Art Wolverhampton, made by @spaceplaystudio. Last Dec, the Uni of Wolverhampton @wlv_uni invited people to share a memory of the building. My 'Lock In' experience in 1992 is now on the SW blog: stillwalking.org/blog/2023/3…

While some city-centre picturehouses have vanished altogether, some are hiding as shopping arcades or shisha lounges and a couple are still actual cinemas!
