EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Crosby Road Plaza, standing proudly at the northwest corner of Waterloo in Sefton, Merseyside. The image showcases the main elevation of the Plaza Community Cinema from its eastern side, highlighting its grandeur and art deco design. The history of this cinema is as fascinating as it is enduring. Opening its doors on September 2nd, 1939, fate had a different plan for this establishment as it was forced to close on the same day due to the outbreak of World War II. However, after several weeks, public buildings were permitted to reopen and thus began a journey filled with various name changes and takeovers. Known successively as the Odeon Cinema, Classic Cinema, Cannon Cinema, and Apollo Cinema under different ownerships throughout the years; this beloved community landmark finally closed its doors in 1996. But thanks to an inspiring community campaign that rallied behind preserving their cherished cinematic gem, it reopened in 1997 under a new identity - The Plaza Community Cinema. Today, registered as a charity organization rather than a commercial enterprise; this picture palace continues to serve as more than just a venue for movies or films. It stands tall as a symbol of unity within Sefton's cultural landscape while honoring its rich heritage dating back over eight decades. Norman Walley's skillful lens has immortalized this architectural marvel for generations to come.
