The ABC Lime St. got a brief mention in the Liverpool Echo (p14 31/3/2007)
Just a bit of waffle about it getting interest from 20 developers...officials offered a "blank canvas", whatever that means. It did mention that they had toured the building.

Thanks for all the pic,s and Info. I still have not found any pic,s of the
Cabbage Hall Cinema prior to LFC supporters club buying it. I have very few
details of it. I have tried the records office, no photo,s, LFC museum no info
city planning dept, city architects dept and loads of cinema groups both in the UK and worldwide, not a thing. Maybe one of the new members has a pic
It is very strange that no photo,s seem to exist

Yes Phil, a dog's dinner of a mess now. You can just make a bit of it out as the Derby here. It's now Coynes and my mam and dad were buried from there. The pic is by Brian Martin. You can hear an ex resident of Wilbraham House (which is next door) talking about the penny matinees in there (when it was the Derby of course - not Coynes )

Thanks for the info, Yes I remember the Carlton and bowling alley, used to
got there a lot, don't know if it is true or not but I heard that EMI still own
the Carlton. Iam surprised no one has been inside it as unlike the bowling alley
it seems in tact

Unfortunately, it's not that strange.
Apart from the "Super" cinemas of the 1930s they were rarely photographed when they were actually operating as cinemas.
I'll try and compile a list of photos of pre 1930 Liverpool cinemas that I've seen (when they were cinemas).
There won't be many!

OK Phil, thanks. As I have said before I used to live in Winchester Rd which
is just round the corner from Lower Breck/Rochester Rd, and my Granny used
to work the ticket box in the "Cabby".
