I don't know whether in GB the community or the general taxpayer has to give money - but by the grading list I they must be safe from the wrecking ball. By the way: the Wurlitzer they ha - from the start? - is from Chicago!

Perhaps the community where this one is located isn't fond of theater productions. Or perhaps the residents aren't willing to pay more tax for the upkeep? It's expensive to maintain those old buildings. Bingo or some other form of gambling might be the way to go to save them from the wrecking ball.walk2writehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501812375142037251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8594057670762283940.post-52666871658304026902013-06-16T21:18:10.358+01:002013-06-16T21:18:10.358+01:00Your absolutely right: it is from the Granada chai...Your absolutely right: it is from the Granada chain. Of course it would be better used as a cinema (I think some times there also played bands) - and great as a theatre - but Bingo is better than nothing. Maybe it is a bit far outside for most Londoners (Zone 3), though you can go by bus or tube? The surroundings surprised me.
