Some Liverpool Cinemas

[steveb]

The architect was Ernest C. Aldridge.

Hi
don't mean the architect of the origional cinema. When LFC supporters
opted to change the front, no doubt they would need planning consent, so
they would need plans to submit to the council, this is the guy I need whoever drew up the plans....

I gave the original architect's name because there is a chance that his family may have photos. (Only trying to help!).
Why should the architect for LFC have photos of the old cinema?
His plans would only show how the building was going to be altered.

If you are going to the LRO, it might help you to remember that that part of Lower Breck Road was called Rochester Road.

If you do find any photos, please share them.

Hi
no offence intended, many thanks. it is usual practice for architect,s to photo
stuff prior to converting whatever, sort of before and after.
OK on Rochester Road when did the name change ?.

Agree Steve. I've taken on a number of jobs for developers where I take shots of a building from various locations and elevations. They then get sent to the architect. In some cases, they'll superimpose renders over my image and send them to the Council for planning permission. It may also be worthwhile calling John Jacobson in the Council's Architects Department.

Hi
many thanks, yes I will contact the council. I have been in touch with LRO
I was just interested in when the name changed to Lower Breck, purely being
curious, or nosey

I don't know when the name changed, but that doesn't matter.
If you go to the Search Room in the LRO, and ask for photos of both streets, the cinema just might be seen.
Remember you'll need ID, as you'll get issued with a ticket.

Hi
thanks for the Info. As you probably known the city engineers collection
of photo,s, some 20,000 of them, are available on a CD, about £8 I think

I'm curious now! There isn't a door between the cinema and 'Worlds Apart' next door is there?

Should I take the lack of reply as a 'yes'?

The Paramount in Fraser Street, now the Bar De Mille and one that might interest PhilipG, The Gilmore in Manchester Street.

The police investigating the explosion at the Gilmore described it as one of the biggest blow jobs they had ever seen!

Hi
remember I was looking for info/pic,s of the Cabbage Hall cinema, well
update so far, no pic,s were submitted with the planning aapplication
to alter the front. I got an email from LRO saying she would send me by post
photo copies of some stuff relating to it, so watch this space
