The Former Colosseum Cinema In Litherland

A READER has told of her memories of a cinema in Litherland.
Freda Hurst of Dowhills Park was prompted to write after seeing a photograph of the former Colosseum in Linacre Lane, which was pictured on October 23.
She used to go there with her three brothers Eric, George and Clive on a Saturday afternoon to see their favourite programmes.

Freda said: "My brothers liked Roy Rogers and buck Jones also The Mask of Zorro. he used to have a sort of big whip and he used it like a lasoo, hurling it in the air and it left a Z mark on his opponent's forehead."
Scores of readers have responded to the photograph and the cinema which later became the Essoldo.
