These posts take me back. I worked in Walton Hospital between 1970 and 1982 and the old Atlas Cinema and the Throstles Nest did run in between the Cinema and pub. I am sure the Atlas was still standing but was derelict and was demolished. It was a really spooky little place. It was more of an alleyway than anything else. I used to go for a walk through it and wander around to the old closed Jewish Cemetery thats near the bottom of Stalmine Road. The Throstles Nest and the Cemetery always felt a bit other worldly, like being back in another time.
The Throstles Nest Pub was one of my Dads old Boozers and was close by St Anthonys Church. Thanks for photo. Great stuff.

Does anyone remember the Soap works that stood in between the Atlas and Cavendish Drive?
