HI THE CINEMA WAS BUILT BY MISS ADA KENYON WHO ALSO BUILT THE ARDWICK CINEMA AND THE NEW ROYAL CINEMA SHE SOLD THEM ALL TO ABC FOR £250 000 BEN KANTER BUILT THE THREE RIVLOI CINEMAS IN CHORLTON COLYHURST AND GORTON THESE WERE LATER SOLD TO ESSOLDO YOURS CINEMA HOG
ABC: Associated British Cinemas were the best cinema chain and had the most distinctive Neon signs, indicating the cinema’s name across the center.
It was a shame when they dropped all of their names and went with just ABC where ever. Everything, today, seems to be just bland initials!
