You may laugh at this question Phil as you may have churned out hundreds already (and in which case, it'll be a massive DOH to me) but have you ever thought of writing a book on Liverpool Cinema's? You have some amazing pics!!

Harold Ackroyd & I were both in the library at the same time researching cinemas, and the staff told him about me, and told me about him, so I always thought he rushed his book out.
I still want to do something about the earlier cinemas because he made a lot of mistakes.
(Let him sue me!) :eek:

Yeahh thats the attitude Phil Lad...Mother F@)&^% !!

And he could have included much more pictures.

Just because there is one book Phil (well 2 I think, but just an update) don't let that stop you! You have fantastic info and pics. There are tons of books on most subjects.... what counts is that they are informative and correct!

Go for it mate! As long as you don't have to prove endless copyright issues and you know for certain that your photo's are your own and all the copyright legal stuff is OK'd by whoever's info you are using then if you can't join em, beat em!

There has been one book about the Williamson Tunnels which was truly bad and written on little more than hearsay, another one is due out by a founder member of one society, and Jona is in the middle of writing THE book which has all the real information from verified sources, pictures of all the area and about 4 portraits of Williamson himself :PDT11

The Astoria was a wonderful-looking building,I was very sad to see it go. I wrote off to try and get it listed but to no avail. Oh well...

Dave.

Can anyone help me out, I seem to remember a cinema in the early 70's in Liverpool I think it was in the James street area (I may be wrong) all it showed was cartoons, Thanks.
