2 pics of interest for me there. the Paramount building in Fraser St - a family friend works in there now. when he went in back in the 80's there was all sorts of old film stuff there. all too damp to salvage sadly.
The Gainsboro' was just along the road from me. it was derelict when we moved here, now it's completely gone and a rather uninteresting car showroom extension has replaced it.

bore yourself silly at my Flickr page...anorak central!
Great pics there Karen!
Is that Gerrard Gardens in your mums pics?
I went and found some of me old pics from when I was 8 or something...same story what with the backgrounds!
Even found one of Seacombe before it was "Spaceported!"
Is the cinema pictured in Orrell Park now a supermarket or am I getting it mixed up with a similar building?

Apologies for the durge in updates!
Cheers Russ, yes I think it is Gerrard Gdns, I know the LMP years ago came along Hunter St then Norton St and down London Rd. My mum used to work in a furniture showroom by the Odeon and we could watch the parades from up there.
The Orrell Park cinema is a bingo hall now.

The former Carlton cinema, Orrell Park, survives to date as a bingo club.
Speaking of cinemas, the demolition of the Bedford, Walton, has opened up views UNSEEN for about a century! I can't resist posting these from yesterday.

Abram & Mitchell.
They were auctioneers and were next door when the cinema was open.
They moved into the cinema when it closed, and right up till the end "Auction Galleries" could be seen at the top of the facade.

Amazingly, The Pitch Pine pub on Stanley Road, Kirkdale, has re-opened!
The interior is so dated that it should be seen by more than the customers;

Great pics Sirob, quite some time since I had a pint in there and the shaky nearby - probably about the mid 1980s in fact.
Great pic,s. A shame that you use the groups attache facility when you
could put them on PB so that we get a decent sized image.
