Back of the ABC Cinema (Birkenhead) under demolition today. I've watched films in there and played snooker, such a shame.

Its complete demolition, construction of a mixed use three storey building (two retail units and offices) with a large-ish car park to rear.
https://planning.wirral.gov.uk/onli...WIRRA_DCAPR_100532&activeTab=summary Previous demolition application was refused because of lack of clarity on what the land would be used for after demolition.
There is also a mention of an arson attack in 2017 whose details I can't recall.
