I think everybody's been down that road Oudeis (pardon the pun)
Sirob found it by investigative work that was quite clever. As it's the only copy, i'm pretty much sure he wants it kept secret how he got it so that it's the only one of its kind in his forthcoming book.
Have tried all sorts of things. It is Lower breck road, taken over by LFC supporters as a clubQuote:

I have had another little look for the Cabbage Hall cinema,ah well Rome was not built in a day. I came across the life story of Al Wildman who was born in Twickenham Road in 1914. The 49 pages of pdf make mention of visits to the cinema and much else...

Not big on photography though.
I did shorten the link above to have a look at the site to read that the life story "... including the part he played in a celebrated murder trial"
So you may have heard of this guy before.
This is a good story, I am up to chapter 12 so to be continued tomorrow!
Al Wildman also figured in the notorious Wallace case of 1931.
Thanks Oudeis, I know Twickenham st very well.
I have bookmarked the link and will read later.
Shuddup you, I am only up to chapter 12:shock:Quote:

Chapter 22. To be continued
Finished, charming story.
A large section of the Odeon (Pudsey Street part) was demolished this afternoon.
Do so many buildings need demolishing? I would love to see them helped out. I am still upset I saw the Welsh houses and Admiral Street houses were going. So sad
For Lindylou too.Quote:

Note the phone box on the corner in the old pic. There was always phone boxes located by the triangle.
I remember those advertisment hoardings too. We would sometimes play around the back of them on the waste ground. Flats were eventually built there, but have recently been demolished last November.
Here is the gap next to the LFC Supporters club (the old Cabbage cinema).
Yes I remember them as well. Between the hordings and cinema was a gapQuote:

to me now :-)

This is for Lindylou, from April 1965

Great Sirob. How's this book coming along. I think the bible was written quicker?
Thanks so much Sirob :PDT_Piratz_26:
Those hoardings .. we used to get a foothold in those gaps and brave climbing up as high as we dare. I think I only did it once ! My mum would have gone mad if she'd seen me !! :shock: :)
There must have been a bit of a grass verge there on the edge of the pavement, I can't quite remember it, but those trees must have been replanted further back. I think they widened the road and pavement. The bus stop is still in the same place.
You can see here on this Google map link the flats I mentioned -

The Odeon in it`s death throes
Oh, cine-ma
said cine-da
where shall the children play
where once was dark
the sky's now stark
they've stolen the thrill away
no more shall fright
the coloured light
not Odeon, but Ode-off today
Great pictures greg's dad The Odeon brings back some early memories.
The Odeon was the first cinema I can remember going to, I was 6 and it was just before Christmas and we saw The Guns Of Navarone , went to TJ's grotto first and I got a plastic aircraft carrier as a present, I lost one of the little aircraft off the deck in the dark during the film, never did find it
A must I would have thought for at least 2 cinema buffs on this forum.

The Lytton cinema was on Lytton Street, of Everton Road. Opened in 1911, it had 580 seats and no balcony. Not one of the major circuit houses, it lasted until 1959. Following use as a tobacco wholesalers, it was demolished in the late 1960's.
Thanks for that Sirob, I remember going to the Lytton but can't remember what was on at the time, 3d it cost me to get in, we called it the flea pit, most cinemas were at that time !!Quote:

Thanks again Sirob, after the Lytton I went up market to the Hippy, we went in via the fire escape when sagging school, happy times !Quote:
