Tom Mix, the African Queen and Woodstock … at the Savoy in Heaton Moor ….. doing the essential walk and making it historic .... no. 18

Always ready to capture the moment, Andy was in Heaton Moor for his essential walk, commenting, “Now today I actually did quite a bit of walking. There are many grand houses, too many to photograph.  Most of the walk was Heaton Moor Road”.

But he still added a lot of photographs to the collection, including the Savoy, “opened 1923 and still operational”.

And according to my Kinematic Year Book for 1928, “The Savoy Heaton Moor Road. - Props., Kenny and Harrison. Man., E, Mallin.  

Two changes weekly.  Price, 6d to 1s 3d. Phone Heaton Moor 114.  Station, Heaton Chapel. LMS”

Location; Heaton Moor

Picture; Savoy, 2020, from the collection of Andy Robertson
