Christ, the 'Lolita' story shows how far we've progressed since then.

I bought my first flat on the Ladder in 1983 for a price much as those shown on the property page. I was on a salary of £6k a year (!) so it was a struggle even at those prices.

I remember the outcry about the Odeon being turned into a bingo hall. I saw a James Bond film there before it was converted, although I have to say that my early 20-something self back then wasn't particularly interested in 30s cinematic interior design, and I don't remember much about the inside except the sweeping proscenium arch. But most cinemas back then were built in the 30s, so I guess we took the interiors for granted.
