As a resident of Frankfurt, I can confirm that the location is incorrect. It was not demolished for the Galleria Kaufhof store. That store is about 100 meters away and was built in the early 1950’s.

Sadly the building succumbed to a serious fire today, 12th March 2019.

Bongo Club sounds more fun, though.

A ‘Bongo Club’? In Gorton? How cosmopolitan!!

Ken, I seem to recall the Naturist Club never actually opened, as Surrey County Council wouldn’t grant a licence for it, even though it was fully fitted out for this use. It stood empty for a few years, until it was fitted out for pub use.

Where did it get the name ‘Noreik’ from?

To a certain extent I agree, but on the other hand, the Troc complex is a former cinema complex.

Is this the Cinema that Oscar Deutsch referred to as ‘our Drawing Room Cinema’, due to it’s size?

i drove past this building tonight. The hoarding now just says ‘Former Granada Cinema, For Sale"

Is the conversion still going to happen?

Ken,

A great name for a restaurant! Do you think they made a bit of a ‘balls up’?

Thanks Ken, I thought for a moment that I was living up to my name!

I drive past this building every day. Such a waste to see it sitting there, gradually falling apart….

The basement ballroom is now a Lap Dancing Venue! Shame on Spearmint Rhino!

Ben,

That looks great. Let’s hope it happens.

Doolally commented about Reopening for Odeon Cinema on Jun 19, 2007 at 5:47 pm

Full credit must go to Reel Cinemas for having the ba**s to have a go where the once mighty Odeon group failed. I wish them and all concerned the best of luck. Again there is a reason to visit York, well other than than to see the beautiful City, itself!

Doolally commented about ABC Wimbledon on Jun 14, 2007 at 4:31 pm

Ken,
Am I right in remembering this cinema being almost opposite the Odeon? Are there any pictures of it anywhere, as I remember the metal cladding, but don’t recall the glazed middle bit.

Thanks ,
