that's a much better picture of the Coliseum than the very old sepia one I saw, which is probably why I got it mixed up with the Gaumont.

I was assuming the front of what turns out is the Gaumont was rebuilt.

great photo that.

probably already on here but here's The Commodore and The Grosvenor taken today

They are such classic, chic buildings. Never will we see the like of again.

just had one of my old large street plans spread out on the floor and it's showing a cinema in Marsh Lane. The map is early to mid 60's as it's pre flyover at Dale St and pre Kingsway tunnel.

My hubby who moved to Liverpool from London in 1963 was living in oregon st and he remembers it being called Auntie Margarets.

it would have been on what is now the health centre.

does anyone else remember it?

taken at the old Museum of Liverpool Life. there was cinema display and this picture was on the wall.
Pre digital days, so apols for the quality

Great pics!

Philip, I was wondering if you have seen the photo of the interior of the Camden Cinema by London Road, when it was all done up for the release of the Ghost Train?
My dad has that pic.

That was the Shakespeare (Fraser st) I think and it's in a book I have done up like that. The picture house in Camden street was the Gaumont.
