Hi Nodrog sometimes I think we will never get images for some of those cinemas, still need to keep trying.
I notice you dont mention The Grafton Parly rd, have you given up on that seeing you have the drawing of it?

Keep up the good work

Hi Calamity if you are not sure, do what I do, ask for permission, most times you get it but I have been knocked back but not by anyone on this site.

Bye for now, norrie
