TWA756 Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 No - was definitely on the Moor - somewhere near where bhs shop is now, or perhaps a bit further along - but not as far out as London Road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWA756 Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Just been looking at Picture Sheffield website - has a photo of the Moor cleared after the blitz - caption says picture shows former Central Picture House, then owned by John Atkinson - so they must have moved their shop into a building which they actually owned. Don't know what happened to it after new shop was built though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Talker Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Atkinsons used the locarno (now "bed") as a temporary warehouse, iirc, after the bomb damage during the war. (I could be wrong, tho) the plaza at handsworth is now a bowling alley: I believe it was also a bingo hall, about 20 yrs ago. PT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete_S Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 I think The Lansdowne Picture Palace was the original name of the building and as I remember, it was used by Marks & Spencers after the Blitz. The cinema half way down the Moor was the Central and that was used by Atkinsons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mega_monty Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Has anyone heard of or know where the Rutland Picture House was ? and when it closed down and if the buildig is still there. The reason I ask is whilst refurbishing my house I found some old cinema tickets for the Rutland Picture House and I would love to be able to put a date to the tickets.
