Gaumont Cinema Dingle Liverpool November 2011

I remember swinging past the cinema on the no. 82 bus and there being a big poster for "Dr. No" on the front of the building.

Dr. No was 1962 (a classic with Ursula A. BTW......) so I think the Bingo bit was after that. The original article did say it became Bingo in the 60's.

Could if have been doing both functions at the same time?

I think it was about 1966 it became a Rank Bingo Hall till about 1998.

Thanks for the comments,its a shame it was allowed to stand empty and rot for so many years.

I dare say that has been the fate of a number of cinemas and theatres over the years.

Have any Liverpool ones managed to remain but reused for different functions?

My optician in Los Angeles had hisoffice inside the shell of a cinema, at least they basically left the facade alone in that case...
