Compo 10,328 Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Is the Adelphi cinema building still standing? I have looked at the picture and it looks so familiar but I can't just place whereabouts it was, precisely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 looking at google maps it seems to have been where there is now a KFC building. Am I correct? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

benjamin1945 16,139 Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 ME and a mate managed to get in the Delphi' to see an X film when we were about 14,they took our money and after being seated about 10 mins,the Coppers came in and escorted us out,we were searched in the 'Foyer' and my mate was found to be carrying a 'Pen knife',he was relieved of it and we left. We then got on the 17 Bus outside,went upstairs and pretended to smoke with our artificial fags,the conducter kicked us off the bus at Piccadilly,we wanted to get to Marble Arch (sounds like we were in London don't it) as we walked the rest of the way home i saw a Girl i always had a fancy for with another lad,it also threw it down with Rain,..............ive had better nights in Bulwell. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
