Such a long thread, I'm not sure if this has been posted earlier.

btw any photos of the old Gem cinema Vescock Sstreet??

[Ged]

I've got a pic of the Gem but only as the Gem Social Club in the 80s. It was a pretty uninspiring looking building, not one you'd associate with the lavish cinema architecture of the big ones.

Iam still looking for a pic of the old cabbage hall cinema.
Have tried all sources, without any success at all

[Ged]

Sirob from this site now has one and will be including it in his new Cinema book.

Don't forget me if you ever find one!
I'd love to see a photo of the old Cabbage cinema. I'd like to see any of that end of Lower Breck rd in general. (that end was formerly called Rochester rd).

The annoying thing is that we've got a couple of family snaps taken right by there 1930s, but the camera is facing the Willow Bank pub and not the cinema !

Alas Cabbage Hall Cinema may be too vague a description for it yielded nothing.

[Ged]

I think everybody's been down that road Oudeis (pardon the pun)

Sirob found it by investigative work that was quite clever. As it's the only copy, i'm pretty much sure he wants it kept secret how he got it so that it's the only one of its kind in his forthcoming book.

Have tried all sorts of things. It is Lower breck road, taken over by LFC supporters as a club
and the front was re built. I have tried LFC, the architechs who did the plan for the new front
Liverpool Echo archives, LRO and looked for it on cinema treasures etc, all to no avail.

yes, my nan knew your nan

[Oudeis]

my nan 'n' your nan
would gab on 'n' on
while folk gawped 'n' grew an appetite
for them half time ices

my nan 'n' your nan
knew well they who
were sat at the back
in the dark a-hidin'

my nan 'n' your nan
would look on in scorn
at those that mixed with married
'n' they'd both have a heart attack at seein' today's prices

Oh Right. She was Gladys Knibb, and lived round the corner
in Winchester Road
