This week's "Turnback Tuesday" features a photo of the drive-in movie theater during the 1955 flood. It was located on 20 Division St. in Derby, where McDonald's and BJ's Wholesale Club now reside. The theater had opened in July of 1953 and thus was only open 2 years before the flood occurred. After the flood, the screen and concession stand were repaired and they remained in operation until the 1960s.
Thanks goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
