I remember these buildings in the 60s and 70s but not the columned portico. Had it been taken down by then?

My brother Billy Bodman and I used to go to the West in Church Street in the 1930s. There was a Commissonaire on the door who wore a dinner jacket and black tie - and it was a dump! We all sat on forms at the back and you could buy a penny salmon roll behind a curtain (more like a sack). I thought they were great days. We used to queue up to get in on a Saturday morning right round by Rosin's, the bakers. They changed the programme 3 times a week, and good films. Has anybody got a picture of the Metropolitan Music Hall on Edgeware Road (demolished in the early 60s)? I saw Gracie Fields, Max Miller and top acts. And does anyone remember the kinema in Edgeware Road which was pulled down to build the flyover (as they did the Met). (I am 86. Anybody else alive remembers this???)

As a boy of ten I climbed over the back wall of the theatre and found various items that must have been left after the war.I think at some point after it was bombed or maybe prior to it being bombed it had been used as an army store for varous items of equipment we found like webbing,lamps ammunition boxes etc
