See link for original ABC/Regal Cinema across from the old bus station. ABC may have owned the Classic/Palace also but if you are an original Sandgrounder the ABC was across from the Bus Station and the Classic/Palace was at the bandstand on Eastbank St
Further to my comment above, and reading the narrative above, it perhaps is your heading that is simply incorrect. Picture Palace and Classic maybe, but it is not the ABC. I was disappointed because I was searching for pictures of the ABC and your link came up. Please therefore change the heading, which is misleading. Thanks
The picture above is of the Classic Cinema, which is now the Vincent Hotel. It is NOT the ABC Cinema. The ABC was further down near the beginning of Lord Street, whereas the Classic was outside the bandstand, at the junction of Eastbank Street. Please correct this error and remove the photo. If you have a true picture of the ABC then use it, but this is the wrong picture and is a completely different building! I have lived in Southport my entire life and visited both cinemas many times. I know exactly that this is incorrect.
