Baron99 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Passed the old Abbeydale Cinema & they're advertising a new bar opening today. Not sure if this is just a pop-up bar or a permanent fixture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this bar doesn’t work reckon that the demolition hammer could claim another victim, I wish both it and whoever the person is the best of fortune.

crookesey Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I hadn’t realised that it’s Grade 2 listed, which gives it a one up in respect of not having to be a roaring success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This also makes it difficult to change its use.

crookesey Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 (edited) I recall queuing with loads of other kids wearing Davy Crockett hats (me included) to see King Of The Wild Frontier at the Abbeydale, it’s star Fess Parker, was making a personal appearance, it was in 1955.
