Ian Grundy commented about Cinema Arcades on Jun 3, 2011 at 1:09 am

Two photos taken during the 64th Cannes Film Festival in 2011. The main screen is the whole of the former stalls area whilst the two smaller cinemas appear to be in the former balcony. The cinema is very well appointed.

Ian Grundy commented about Rendezvous Cinema on May 7, 2011 at 12:16 pm

This ought to be listed as demolished as only part of the foyer remains, the auditorium and rear foyer have been levelled and now serve as a car park!

Ian Grundy commented about Empire Picture House on Apr 8, 2011 at 9:00 am

The Empire has not been demolished – it can clearly been seen from the photo above taken this week – the hall lies at right angles to the road running along the back of the pub.

The Seven Stars Pub has closed and is up for sale. A photo from 2011 here – the theatre can be seen to the left of the building, accessed through the large arch :–

Cinema Treasures – they update the submitted text from time to time to keep it current, obviously they were a bit early on the Odeon.

Ian Grundy commented about Odeon Liverpool on Mar 22, 2011 at 1:36 am

Actually I didn’t say that either – the text has been amended by CT.
