rob237 89 Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Rather confusing to see a Nottingham art deco cinema stood in such spacious surroundings - most were tightly built around. I'll take a guess for the Rio, Oakdale Road, Bakersfield. Cheers Robt P. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ilkolad 9 Posted February 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Sorry Rob.. but I did say it was an ard un! although it did exist in an area of Nottingham, it's not a cinema that would have been frequented by most.. but nevertheless it did exist, and it was in Nottingham.. if you liook closely you will see Reg the photographer's bike leaning against the wall. the bike being a feature in quite a few of his Nottingham snaps ..

ilkolad 9 Posted February 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Seeing as the location and name of the cinema may have been a tad obscure, I've provided another clue .. in this photo the workmen have nailed the nameplate back onto the turret, thus now it only remains to find the location of where it once stood.
