Billy Butler, himself a bit of a film buff who has a slot where you can request rare ones, is fielding calls about Liverpool cinemas today and has mentioned the Bedford, Liverpool's 1st.
He started his hour off appropriately with 'Saturday night at the movies' and they are running a made in Merseyside quiz this week playing excerpts from film dialogue - most quite difficult. I got the Violent playground one quite easily though - seen bits of it a lot lately.

Phil. Another view of The Derby, taken when Wilbraham House tenements were still up. You can also see St. Anthony's Church and the Vernon's building. I am reliably informed by someone connected with project Jennifer that the Derby is coming down and that's why John Coyne has now moved to the Panda Alarm building along Stanley road, not far from his bro Peter who's in the old Grosvenor. Apparently Central Tin cannisters (situated behind the Derby, further down Wilbraham st are holding out for a better deal)
Feel free to use the pic as you like.
Oh, and here's the pic - silly me.
........
Yep, will let you know as soon as I do.
Lyceum, Garston. The previous colour was a garish yellow/blue combination.
The romance comedy The Mating Game, released the previous October is showing starring Debbie Reynolds and Tony Randall. The David Lewis building is in the background.
Great pic, what road was that on
St. James street. It's not my pic though, sorry, should have said. It's off the Reflections of Liverpool site.
Paramount Cinema

Fraser st Just off London Road
Hiya DP - great pic but that's Fraser st actually. The Shakespeare theatre stood next door to it which is now occupied by the Ann Fowler home which once stood on Netherfield Road. PhilipG said that this was never actually a cinema though but just their offices.
Thanks Ged i have corrected it.
Looks like it, still a good building though.Quote:

Its location was down West Derby road (tuebrook) just passed the police station and under the railway bridge on the right.
I think it was between "Oak Leigh and Ivy Leigh".
Can anyone name it for me ?
Thanks for any help that comes along.

phredd, It was the Empress, knocked down years ago when the road was widened.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Thanks for pic,s. The Kensington was that the one next to the ice rink
and became a bingo hall
That's ok, you're welcome Steve. I think it was next to the ice rink but Phil will know for sure when he sees it.
Does anybody remember the Gaumont in the Dingle. I had my first real date there when I was 15. Her name was Diane and I agreed to meet her inside (:neutral:) Oh! the shame of it ! But I had no money,,,,,,,,,,,,
The story can continue but only by PM or e-mail, lol

Great info Phil (as ever) Max Baer of course being the father of Jethro in The Beverley Hillbillies. I took the year off the info on the back of the photie, apologies if it's wrong.
I know you said previously that there's few photies of the Paramount without its cladding.
What about the insides - what's going on there? Weren't there plans a while back to turn into a bar complex or something? I'm glad they're cleaning the outside up though, it deserves it. I hate hearing people refer to it as an 'eyesore', because it isn't...Quote:
