Hi Ian. Hope you’re keeping well. I recall Doug Sanders telling me that there had been live shows at the ABC. Also there were a couple of rooms back stage on the actors left (below the organ chamber rooms) that Bill Croft used as store rooms,that I was told used to be changing rooms(there was also a toilet on the same floor.

I would like to correct a small mistake in the details above.I worked at the cinema from 1965 to closure and when converted to a twin cinema,the whole of the stalls area was used for screen 2.
Demolition was completed toward the end of 2007 and at time of writing(march ‘08),the area is in use as a car park.
I would love to add some photos when this feature is up and running.
