Demolish the Bedford - no bloomin way. how could they pull down such a great building:disgust:
.........
Well i hope it gets saved.
Keep us posted Philip.
Thanks for the info Gnomie and Philip.
That's a great picture of the Olympia - you can see what a fine building it is from that view standing back from it.
The Bedford looks like it's been a lovely place in it's day. I've passed it many times but not taken too much notice. Now I've seen it here, I realise that it's very nice and must be saved.
The Gaumont in Anfield - I was nearly born in there !! My mum was watching a film there and went into labour ! :shock: :D
Philip, approx a couple of years back the Gaumont (or Lighthouse as it's now known) held a community open-day and showed old film footage of some of the old cinemas and also some history of the Anfield and Everton/Breckfield area. Did you attend by any chance ? I can't remember the date but it was in the summertime I think. Thought that maybe all cinema buffs would be interested.
I was there with my mum, We listened to some interesting tales and memories from the older folks about the old days.
We should have spoken up and said that I was almost born in that cinema, but we were too shy ! :) :)
.......
Thanks Philip :handclap:
did you have a coffee and a snack afterwards ? We might have been at the same table. :) :)

Just over the road from The Curzon in Old Swan is what looks like another old cinema. The only other cinema I can see listed for Old Swan is The Regent so it could be that. I'll have to go back in daylight to get better photo's...
