    Demolished 1970.
    The site is part of the car park of the Royal Liverpool Hospital.

    Both these photos are dated

    1937, and are from the LRO Collection at Liverpool's Central Library.
    I saw Bonnie & Clyde there.

    Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
    becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
    longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
    tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
    canals to view its modern museum describing
    how it once was?

    Bigging up pictures usually degrades them unless you have certain software.

    Probably best if you send them au natural

    Comfort yourself in knowing

    that they are ignorant ****heads. Probably genetic. It's not their fault

    Your cinema pics are brilliant! You are in good company here

    it!
    Phil, rather than faff around with "advice" post the originals to me and I'll reduce them to 800 x

    Here's the Plaza on an old postcard.

    Plaza, 180 Allerton Road, Liverpool 18.
    Architect A. E. Shennan.
    Opened 30 Mar

    1928.
    Renamed Gaumont in 1950, then Odeon in 1962.
    Renamed Classic in 1967.
    Closed 18 April 1971.
    Demolished. A Tesco supermarket (now Yates's

    Wine Lodge) was built on the site.

    Shops were built on the site of the Plaza's car park, with a new Classic cinema being built over them. It opened

    11 August 1973.
    The film showing on the Plazza is "Vanessa" with Helen Hayes (1935).

    As far as I know my pics just have a

    (They've been transferred from my camera).
    The extension usually has to be .jpg or .gif. It has to be in a location which it

    can be accessed from, like on a server. If you have a web site allocated by your ISP, use this space. Or somthing like the free fkr site will do. Download

    the file to the photo site and link to there (give the full address (URL) of the photo). The address must be like say Daves for the Curzon:

    http://www.liverpoolpictorial.co.uk/curzonoldswan.jpg

    Using one of these free photo sites also gives you backup in case your disk

    crashes.
