These words from the film TITANIC are now displayed on the canopy outside Chester's ODEON, the cinema having closed in early June.
I'd been told about the cinema's impending closure almost a year ago when it was purchased by Doncaster-based Brook Leisure. At the time I was told that Brook had said they would be renting the cinema back to ODEON for 'a couple of years'.
It would seem that my suspicions have turned out to be right, having expected that this nightclub-operating company would shut the cinema at the earliest opportunity.

Not according to the guys onsite. It maybe a while till they do the cinema
as the old bowling alley is 1st due to it being totaly trashed.
They have said that when they get to the cinema, they will ring me as
long as I have my own hard hat :-)

I was looking around Central Hall on Monday and found a door open on the second floor and this is what i found, the only place i couldn't get into was the projectionists booth.
multi multa; nemo omnia novit
Not very awe inspiringbut this is what the Cabbage Hall
picture house looks like today, you can see the old part of the building
and the new front that LFC supporters club put on in 1961. Sadly despite
many months of searching, I can't find any pic,s pre conversion...
I lived in Winchester Rd just around the corner and my grandmother worked
in the box office of the"Cabby". I remember on a Saturday going down the
side by the garage with my jam jars for the admission fee, AH those were
the days when the area was thriving...
Excellent photographs in this thread, Philip, drone_pilot, Ross, DaisyChains and steveb! Well done, everyone!
