excellent!many thanks for taking the time in writing that – any more?I only remeber after the alterations – when it re-opened and I was gob smacked at how beautiful Odeon 1 was and how I wanted to have a look around behind the scenes!The mighty organ at the Saturday morning club , being played.
I also never realised how good the old Ritz/ABC looked prior to being ripped apart!

will be devasting if the grand old building comes down as it has so much character. Would anyone know if we are able to view or tour?

just also wondering when the ABC was twinned – what happened to the stage area and front stalls area which did not seem to be used?
is there any pictures around of the old ABC?
