Thanks Ged.
The 2/6 postal order is on its way.

That's fine

Do you still want a pic of the front of the popular?

It was Bon Marche for quite a while.

In case anyone's wondering, we're talking about Williamson Street.

re Solitaire and Bonmarche.
took this photo yesterday - so they are on the site of the former auditorium ?

That's it - right in the middle of your photo.
The one with the three arches.

I always thought the canopy with Tatler on it and the entrance was in Church St though?

Hi I'm new here and am amazed at the wealth of information. People are really interesting.

I was just wondering if anyone had any photos of the inside foyer of the old Odeon on Allerton Road? My family lives nearby and my dad phoned to say the 'new' Classic had been closed down. What a shame, we spent many happy hours there and in the old cinema on the same site. I'd love to see some pics of the inside of the old cinema, it was all marble pillars with a goldfish pond in the middle - to a kid it was like a palace. We went to the Saturday morning pictures there for years.

Here's hoping !

Although blurred, here is the fountain/goldfish bowl, also the auditorium.

Didn't it have a Kardoma cafe inside the foyer?

Hello Sirob.

Geds got a picture of the Popular cinema!

I've still got your DVD of the railways, send an Email!

The Tatler building then and now - - I'm a bit confused because the building I photographed is on a corner- Church st/Williamson st, yet the older photo shows it as being further in the middle of the block.

**ItsaZappathing** · 03-30-2009

Brilliant as usual Sirob.

Hello Lindy

My recollection is that it was in the middle of the block so the brick building you're showing must be a different building, I think.
