The stonework is being cleaned.
Oh right, is that all. I suppose it is in aid of City of culture
Cinema/Theatre posters including the Rossy.
Took a trip down West Derby Road (Tuebrook) last week looking for a cinema that I frequented as a kid -- no sign of it, the building has long gone and I cannot remember its name.
Its location was down West Derby road (tuebrook) just passed the police station and under the railway bridge on the right.
I think it was between "Oak Leigh and Ivy Leigh".
Can anyone name it for me ?
Thanks for any help that comes along.

You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else.

The Paramount in 1941 and Kensington 1953.
Thanks for pic,s. The Kensington was that the one next to the ice rink
and became a bingo hall
That's ok, you're welcome Steve. I think it was next to the ice rink but Phil will know for sure when he sees it.
Does anybody remember the Gaumont in the Dingle. I had my first real date there when I was 15. Her name was Diane and I agreed to meet her inside () Oh! the shame of it ! But I had no money,,,,,,,,,,,,
The story can continue but only by PM or e-mail,

Great info Phil (as ever) Max Baer of course being the father of Jethro in The Beverley Hillbillies. I took the year off the info on the back of the photie, apologies if it's wrong.
I know you said previously that there's few photies of the Paramount without its cladding.
What about the insides - what's going on there? Weren't there plans a while back to turn into a bar complex or something? I'm glad they're cleaning the outside up though, it deserves it. I hate hearing people refer to it as an 'eyesore', because it isn't...
