Some Liverpool Cinemas

[briden27]

Good to hear people talking about the Curzon.It brought back memories.Although it wasnt my local my eldest brother took my brother and myself there to watch Rio Bravo.The big films came later at our local cinema,which I've forgotton the name.
Can anyone help.It was on Overton Street in Wavetree.On the corner of Overton Street and Wavetree Road was Sturlas department store then the cinema and opposite was a joke shop

The Capitol cinema was on Overton Street Opened. in 1930 and closed in 1961. Demolished a long time ago.

Thats a rather steep staircase too climb, esp in this day and age.

[Ged]

It's a stategy. It means they can charge even more for the drinks at the top.

Imagine coming down with a buggy

Imagine coming down with the flu.


There are lifts too

One of my favourite cinemas has to be the Plaza in Waterloo. It's been enhanced recently with the addition of a new Art Deco-style canopy.

This photo isn't particularly good, but I really like the new canopy. All the films that are now showing are displayed on the illuminated canopy.

Great pics Ross, keep em' coming.

I can't find any info right now about this one, but here's the Pavilion 'Pivvy' Bingo Club on Lodge Lane.



Obviously the front elevation has been altered in recent times, but I suspect it might have been a cinema...

[Ross08]

Does anybody have any information on this (former cinema?) in Victoria Road, Widnes?



I also had some photographs of the former cinema in Peel House Lane, but I've managed to misplace them; and there was also the smaller cinema nearby that's since become a J.D Wetherspoon pub (The Premier?).
