Some Liverpool Cinemas

That would be the Palladium.
There's pics of it on page 1 of this thread (#16).
The Hippodrome was nearer Town, next to Gregson's Well.

Missed them on page 1 = thought they were avatars .
Thanks for that. I had them both the otherway round.

Thanks Philip

Here's a New Brighton photo (Victoria Road?) from the 90s--the building to the left looks like it may have been a cinema. Or a bank. Any ideas? I would be very surprised if it were still standing.

The above cinema was indeed in Victoria Road, New Brighton...

Known as 'The Trocadero', this cinema opened on 1st June 1922 and closed suddenly on 22nd September 1956 with only a few days warning.

I have a book - THE SILVER SCREENS OF WIRRAL, published 1990 which says that 'The Troc' now serves as a supermarket. I would say that it was demolished in the early to mid nineties. It certainly does not remain to this day.

Went to see the good the bad and the ugly there when it first came out.
Thought we were cool in our Ben shermans and comos shoes.

We were cool JOHNO and I saw the same film at the same cinema. spooky

Fantastic to see!! I always said I was going to go there and never ever got the chance. No excuse now!!

Incidentally Phil, do you have any pictures of the Albany/Astra in Maghull? Loved that place as a lad. Distraught when it came down. When was it knocked down?

[XL391]

Thanks pal! Some great memories of that place...

According to Warren Bradley on Radio City last night, the East side of Lime st from next door to the Crown to next door to the Vines is not being demolished as previously reported on here. He said the council or English heritage to own most of that side including the 2 cinemas are looking at doing it up. He slated the shop owners on the Concourse House frontage though regarding the cpo delays, saying he thought they'd been offered adequate prices/re-locations (but if the Edge Lane residents are anything to go by what is adequate in his mind and theirs is obviously different...)

Nice touch
Queen crowns reopening of famous old cinema

"A RED carpet, the National Anthem and The Queen all made for a real sense of occasion as Woolton Cinema reopened its doors to the public last night.

Guest of honour was the venue’s very own honorary monarch – Beatrice McKenzie, an 84-year-old resident of the village who has been going to the cinema since its very beginning in the 1920s."
