REMEMBER CLAYTON SQUARE LIKE THIS?

You had to be careful if you went to the News Theatre in case the bloke in the dirty Mac came and sat next to you :-((.
I preferred the Tatler on Lime St. Used to sag school and spend all day in there as you could watch the show over and over again until you got fed up.
At least you were out of the weather.

Hi everyone, one of my few posts I was an usherette at the Liverpool News Theatre in Clayton Square for about 8 months. The Manager was a Mr Potter (or Potts), it was a long time ago, 1951 to be exact. They only showed News reels, cartoons and travelogues in those days, it was my first job after leaving school.

Wasn't the Tatler on Church Street?

Yes, if Customhouse was on Limey then it'd been the futurist, ABC or palais de lux.

The Tatler was in Clayton Sq.

What was the news cinema that was in Church Street? I thought that was The Tatler?

It was the News room in Clayton Square which became the Jacey. The Tatler was in Church Street facing C&A.

Spot on. Waterways wrong - who'd have thunk it?


Don't take umbrage, WW. Always impressed by the breadth of your knowledge - just glad to learn you are human.

We would go there and we called it the Tatler, which makes me think it was called the Tatler at one time - either when I went as a little kid or before and the name stuck. I never ever went in the one in Church Street. Unless Tatler was used as a generic name for news/cartoon theaters in Liverpool - as Hoover is used for vacuum cleaners.

I remember the Jacey well.

PS Didn't it become some kind of chapel or something?

[Howie]

Ooops! - just noticed Ged answered that on page 1 - the holy shrine blessed sacrament.

I think Tatler was a countrywide chain I have just done a Google and many people refer to the Clayton Squ theatre as the Tatler as well. Which makes me think a news/cartoon theatre was always called a Tatler.

Is it just so darn hard to admit that, once in a millenium, you are fallible?

Me? I've made so many mistakes in life and been wrong so many times, one more just doesn't bother me!

We called it the Tatler and went to watch the cartoons in the afternoon. It seems many others called it the Tatler too. I may not be wrong.
