thanks Philip, I must have been dreaming about that trivial bit of non knowledge. One of my elders must have given me the wrong information.

Mr Ackroyd has written the history of Liverpool's cinemas.
With quite a few mistakes!
We were both in the Library at the same time (researching cinemas), and the staff told each of us about the other, and it looks like Harold rushed his book out.
Once he gets to the cinemas built in the 1930s he's fine.
Most of the pictures in his book are from the Record Office.

oh I see.

I was just wondering

Kwik Save, Smithdown Road/Magdala Street
I don't know too much about this cinema site.

I thought there must be a good reason why I haven't seen any 'then' pics of the cinema at that junction (Smithdown Road/Magdala street).

Philip... Do you have any information about the Stanley 'Grand' Casino on Lord Street, Southport?

Any information would be appreciated, particularly if you know when it was built and for what purpose.

I'm sure you will have some info on it.
