Ellis Street / The Cross
| Opened as the Regal in 1936, and
originally seating 1,958. Renamed ABC in 1960s. Subdivided into cinema
in circle and
bingo in stalls in 1973. Cinema closed in 1983, becoming a snooker
club. Bingo ceased in 1996, and the snooker appears to have moved
downstairs. Archive image courtesy of 'dusashenka'. Additional picture here.
