I think the second photo is the updated foyer to the ABC Liscard around 1959?
I found this one Wally, slightly the same but different.. This one says the Abc, but get out the magnifying glass and compare. Your job for the night, I`ll break out the beers.
If you look at the first photo, on the wall on the right you can see the triangle ABC logo opposite the kiosk. I think both photos are of the ABC just after modernisation around 1959. It is the same kiosk. I was an ABC Minor at the time mainly because the girl I was keen on was a member. Young Love!
There is a server update that has messed with the jpg settings. Im looking into it now. Please see the forum update for further updates.
All the attachments are safe, the forum is no longer linking to them for a strange reason. Once sorted they will just come back as quickly as they changed.
Essoldo, Located at the corner of Claughton Road and Oliver Street Birkenhead.
I don't know what the main feature was, but the other film, The Brazen Bell, with Lee J. Cobb was released in 1962. The previous name of the Essoldo was the Ritz.
Pear Tree Grove was off the old Liscard Crescent. It went off to the east while the end of the crescent went to the west to join Liscard Road outside the old Co-op (now McDonalds).
In the picture, the backs of some three storey houses can be seen. They are in Wilton Street, a cul-d-sac off Westminster Road.
The area the houses occupied is now the small car-park with the disabled facilities, over the road from the bus stops.
p.s Zipper - having a great time looking through your collection. Thanks for posting them.

One of my great grandfathers lived in Pear Tree Grove, Liscard in 1870's. All his children were born when living at that address. The houses were called Pear Tree Cottages. Nightwalker gave me that info a while ago.
