thanks Waterways

While trying to rescue the situation, I noticed that the Yo page went blank and I had to completely exit and come back in ! Twice I've had to do that.

WW needn't worry about being wrong just the once as he was also wrong on another site by saying the session drummer the Beatles used on Love me do was Tommy White when it was Andy White

Being wrong just the once is hard to admit as you like to keep your record intact, twice is a little easier dontchathink, I found it so

I got the White right!!!! I booze with his mate.

It was still referred to as the Tatler. The Tatler in Church St was the country's first news theatre, which makes me think all News theaters were referred to as "Tatler". Philip may clarify.

So you're blaming drunkeness for your mistake now

This was a causal activity.

I'll put a piece about news theatres in the "Some Liverpool Cinemas" thread, as I'm checking dates and haven't finished it yet.

It was the News room in Clayton Square which became the Jacey. The Tatler was in Church Street facing C&A.

Pictures of both on my site for the disbelieving

The Tatler was at 25 Church Street, its entrance was in part of the building now occupied by Clarks Shoes. This same building once housed the very first Woolworths before they built their much larger store across the road on the site of St Peter's Church.

The cinema in Clayton Square opened in 1912 as The Liverpool Picture House and changed its name to the Prince of Wales before becoming The Liverpool News Theatre in 1946, finally finishing up as The Jacey from 1964 to 1972. I'm not sure but suspect the "Jacey" name was derived from J & C Moores Ltd, the company owned by the famous John & Cecil of Littlewoods fame, who by that time owned most of the properties in Clayton Square.

What I cant get my head round is the fact, that I used to wait for the bus in Clayton Square when I was a kid, but now, how come there seems to be 2 levels? I mean all those steps to go up and down, I dont remember Clayton Square being on such an incline.?????

I noticed that too. I don't ever recall the hill being that steep ! A few people have commented on this.

It's so the cctv can keep an eye on you.

It does seem a lot steeper when you're drunk

Here's Clayton Square in 1986 (apologees if seen before).
