Now I know my wife is always telling me I go around with my eyes shut and I must have passed the location a good few times, but it wasn't until last Sunday when I was taking a few more photographs that I realised the old ABC Tower Cinema wasn't there anymore!  Can anyone tell me when it was demolished?

 

Thanks.

Oh blimey!  I am out of touch.  Never heard of 'drive through chemists' before.  What do they do, pelt your car with aspirin as you drive past? :-)

Quote from the blackcountrybugle


"the Tower closed on Saturday 28th December 1968, afterwards becoming a Bingo & Social Club, with demolition following some years later."
