Re: cinemas
I think my new workplace; Boots, is on the site of the old cinema; I haven't seen any ghosts yet, maybe they were specific cinema haunting ghosts with no interest in relocating ?

Vue can make more money by having a Vue in both towns rather than just one, and they built a bigger cinema showing more things than the old Blackburn one so that ended up closing didn't it? |
Re: cinemas
What about the Hippodrome on Blackburn Road? I think when it closed it became Accringtons first Supermarket.

On Blackburn Rd, between Ellison St and Oxford St, was the building which housed the 1st Accy ASDA in 1962. The building burnt down a few years ago whilst it was Glynn Webb, who built its present replacement, (recently taken over by another similar trader whose name escapes me). Before ASDA in 1962 - I think it was 'car sales' - but if anyone knows different, please say so. |
Re: cinemas
