Ian,
The place directly behind the Empire Theatre is the former Odeon – it was closed in 2008. The Forum is at the other end of Lime Street – as you move down it you can see the railway station roof on the right. Immediately after the station is a single square tower block, and opposite this diagonally is a large building with a curved front (in the image I can see on Google Maps there is a red bus and a green/white bus turning right in front of the building). This is the old Forum cinema.
This map shows a few of the Cinemas on/around Lime Street (best seen in Satellite View).http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid=103713836400452876723.000460ac1b59b591b9891
Is this the big cinema behind The Empire Theatre. If not what is the huge place i see on Google maps?
Projectors were Ross with RCA sound. Light was provided by Peerless Magnarc. Later Philips FP20s were used.

Liverpool desperately needs a Beatles theatre for putting on shows,talks and films for the 1000’s of tourists who visit each year. Either the Forum or the Futurist seem like a no brainer to fulfill such a role. Why then are they in this state?!?

My father, Thomas Boyle was the artist who painted the advertising posters for the Forum Lime Street in the 1960s. I would love to know if any photographs of these posters have survived. Thanks.
Here is a recent exterior photograph of the former ABC Forum, Liverpool, in its current closed status:

I would like to see images of the interior of this cinema,
