found this photo somewhere on the net of the old Atlas cinema used to be in Rice Lane. I remember I used to stand outside it to get the bus home after babysitting my three cute cousins who lived near there.

I don't remember that cinema at all. I didn't know there was one in Rice lane. Was it opposite to Walton hozzy ?
..........
I know Rice lane well enough and yet I can't recall that cinema at all.

Park Palace, Mill Street. The following web-site contains a small pic showing the inside (from the time when it was used as a work-space for the Liverpool Lantern Co.)

Every now and again I see the door shutter raised, so it must still get used for something.

It would be good to see it being used as a cinema.I'm not sure if it would make enough money but it wouldn't hurt giving it a tryQuote:

The Dickson Road building retains much of its 1930s Art Deco character as Funny Girls burlesque showbar, owned by Basil Newby's In the Pink Leisure.

It's amazing how similar PhilipG's photograph is to my own. When I first looked at the posting, I thought for a second it was my own. It's a building that can only really be photographed from one angle as, like many cinemas, only the main facade is attractive - the other faces are just plain brick.
Nice to see some Blackpool cinemas - good work!
Great pics you fellas and a great Blackpool flickr Phil.

I thought it had been saved Philip?
Cant believe its still at risk :disgust:
A planning notice, on a sign-post, at the corner of Scotland Road/Wilbraham Street refers to 322 Scotland Road. I think this is the former Cinema/Funeral Directors.

GREAT thread.
Not only hugely enjoyable to read from a nostalgia point-of-view, but also helping enormously with a local history project I'm running with a group of 14 - 16 year-olds in Anfield (I'm actually based at Liverpool Lighthouse on Oakfield Road, which used to be the Gaumont Palace cinema).
Thanks again to Phil G for permission to use some of his excellent photos in our exhibition (December 19th - come along, it's free!).
Anyone object if use some of the others posted on here?
Thanks,
Ed
Anybody remember the Palace cinema on Warbreck Moor which was the
next cinema after the Atlas on Rice Lane. It was turned into a supermarket
and then into a shoe superstore.

Ron of the Scottie press tells me there are murmers regarding this building being demolished. Although not listed it has been part of the Scottie scene for 125 years.
In the past decade it has been a pub and a pine furniture showroom.

I submitted a phone vote for this.
Someone was appealing on the radio for people to vote, so I did . :)

A picture of the former Bedford cinema is in the Liverpool Echo tonight.

Cinema plans may be vetoed
Feb 6 2008 by Nick Coligan, Liverpool Echo
PLANS to demolish Liverpool’s oldest cinema could be turned down.
Councillors yesterday said they were considering refusing the controversial scheme for Bedford Hall in Walton.
The building opened in 1909 as the city’s first purpose-built picture house.
Its current owner now wants to demolish it and build 26 houses and flats.
Planners had asked that the frontage of the building on Bedford Road be incorporated into the new development.
But the owner turned down their request.
The proposal may now be rejected on the grounds it would cause the loss of “a local amenity of great historic interest”.
Marky, thanks for that, i'm keeping an eye open for Philip as he'd like a photo without the cladding.
Kev, as Philip has already pointed out though, the owners have gone and smashed the decorative mouldings for spite in case they enhanced it's position of becoming listed/saved.
Here is a picture of the Atlas, taken in 1971.
More pictures of long gone cinemas to follow.
Copy them with pleasure
Fantastic - Welcome aboard :PDT_Piratz_26::hug:

Here are some pictures of the Majestic, Daulby Street, during it's demolition in 1970. Sorry that the exterior shot is over exposed.
Photos; exterior, projection room, balcony. Two more pics, but over the file limit!
Great these Sirob, i'd never seen a colour photo before of what was there before the Royal hospital.
