Probably went there about once a week through the early to mid 60s. Wasn't it a Gaumont in those days?

So the Landlord has given Odeon notice to leave, I wonder what bar chain has come in with a better offer then. I hope it doesn't lie empty for years. One problem to me would be the fact that if anyone does take over the site,they would have to install lifts etc to reach the top floor, bit of a ball ache really.

Maybe now they will update the frontage of the building, to me it lets down Allerton rd.

Hopefully It doesn't become a bar, theres enough of them on the end of Allerton road.

I don't remember Virgin owning It either, they owned the Edge Lane Cinema but the Allerton was only Canon and ABC before the Odeon.
