You wouldn't believe it was the same building.
It looks derelict, with broken windows.

I had a look round the back a while ago, didn't have my camera
with me though.

These words from the film TITANIC are now displayed on the canopy outside Chester's ODEON, the cinema having closed in early June.

I'd been told about the cinema's impending closure almost a year ago when it was purchased by Doncaster-based Brook Leisure. At the time I was told that Brook had said they would be renting the cinema back to ODEON for 'a couple of years'.

It would seem that my suspicions have turned out to be right, having expected that this nightclub-operating company would shut the cinema at the earliest opportunity.

Not according to the guys onsite. It maybe a while till they do the cinema
as the old bowling alley is 1st due to it being totaly trashed.
They have said that when they get to the cinema, they will ring me as
long as I have my own hard hat :-)

I was looking around Central Hall on Monday and found a door open on the second floor and this is what i found, the only place i couldn't get into was the projectionists booth.

Not very awe inspiring :handclap: but this is what the Cabbage Hall
picture house looks like today, you can see the old part of the building
and the new front that LFC supporters club put on in 1961. Sadly despite
many months of searching, I can't find any pic,s pre conversion...
I lived in Winchester Rd just around the corner and my grandmother worked
in the box office of the"Cabby". I remember on a Saturday going down the
side by the garage with my jam jars for the admission fee, AH those were
the days when the area was thriving...

I don't get that. :)

.........

was it the Hippo drope that had the only title of Royal outside London, or am I mistooken?

........

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.

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.
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/e...wn_Magdala.jpg

............

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.

...........

Nice one Phil. As ever, a fountain of knowledge.

I'd wondered what the new building was on the front. I was in Southport about 3 weeks ago and seen the steelwork.

So that's two questions answered in one go.

AN AMBITIOUS £14m plan to demolish and rebuild one of Merseyside’s last remaining independent cinemas has been scrapped. Read

Another view of the Cameo. Sorry about the quality of these, they're from a 1987 Echo suppliment - hard believe they're 20 years old themselves, I remember keeping them like yesterday..
