Some Liverpool Cinemas

[A.D.W]

I've just been told that the Woolton is to reopen.
I've no further details at the moment.
Does anybody know if it's been mentioned in the local papers?

The article was in the Daily Post on Monday or Tuesday of this week.

This is very good news, makes a change for a building to be saved

Thanks Phil, thats the place.

I spent many a day in there watching the jungle book or herbie goes bananas. I think my auntie really liked them and wanted an excuse to go see them every year.

Any north-enders remember the Regent in Crosby? On Crosby Road opposite the end of Endbutt Lane. It became a bingo hall years ago, and still was the last time I passed that way.

We queued up for two hours to see Cliff in 'Summer Holiday' there!

Just a brief mention of the "Adult" cinemas in Liverpool.

The Jacey in Clayton Square (1963 to 1972), formerly the News Theatre and Prince of Wales. The Jacey was technically still a "proper" cinema rather than the other four listed here where you had to be a member.

The Tatler Cinema Club, later Eros Cinema Club in London Road (1969 to 1983), formerly the Essoldo and Kings, and various other names.

The Tatler Cinema Club in Church Street (1969 to 1972). This was the famous Tatler Cartoon Cinema.

Converted premises were the Gilmore Cinema Club in Manchester Street (late 1970s to 1985) and the Adult Book Centre Cinema Club in Sweeting Street (early 1980s).

Were't there 2 adult cinemas in London Roas? Sure I remember passing one next door to the hamburger bar that exploded? Where the 'container shops' are now. The other one you show in the pic was next to or close to Harris's (best toy shop ever!) toys wasn't it? Remember walking past on the way into town from Kenny.

I remember a cinema on West Derby Road (opposite Ogdens) but can not remember the name of it.
The Hippadrome comes to mind but I am not sure.
