During the war, if there was an air raid the cinema stayed open for people to wait for the "all clear" and sometimes the organist would stay and everyone would have a singalong.
In that area there were four cinemas including the Gaumont... The Beresford Park Road, The Mayfair(with the lovely curtai n) and the Rivoli in Aigburth Road. All gone and we're left with the telly!!!!!
