Great loss as a Theatre. But as previously stated there is the Beatle connection and for those interested the stage can be seen in use with the fab four on it including house Tabs if you watch the Beatles “Hello GoodBye” video on the anthology set.
Got to say this building is one of amazing survival. I made my firts trip to the movies here and saw “The Railway Children” back in the early 70’s when it was the Odeon. Later I shopped in the market when it was looking ok, then later when not so good and even worse after a fire. Never thought it would show a film again so well done to all concerned.The exterior is an amazing bit of fantasy architecture on a drab shopping street.
I saw the musical Lennon here in it’s brief days as a westend theatre, not a bad venue for an ex jam factory it just needs money spending on it and it could rejoin the westend playhouses in some capacity.
