Added 3 pics of original 1915 advertising posters showing the original frontage.
Ken, I meant epicentre of LISCARD, Wallasey.
Ken, Ken, You are wrong, it IS the Liscard Electric Palace, built c 1911, and re-fronted in very early 1950’s, as the original frontage would have appeared so very old-fashioned by then (loads of ornate fibrous plasterwork etc ) Go to a fabulous site : historyofwallasey.co.uk There you will find ORIGINAL frontage and interior, plus excellent info on all the Wallasey cinemas. The Capitol stood at what is effectively the epicentre of Wallasey, and the shops surrounding it still stand. Terry Dixon.

The front was rebuilt just after WW2:

The Gaumont Palace (Egremont) was built so low because of ancient “Rights to Light”.
No!, Looking at other photos in the set and comparing them to interior photographs in the book ‘The Silver Screens of Wirrel’ by Clive Garner, it is the former Capitol Cinema/ABC Wallasey. The former Gaumont Palace/Apollo 6 never had a balcony, it was a stadium plan cinema.
No – it’s the former Apollo 6 (formerly Gaumont Palace theatre), also in Wallasey. It’s now a block of flats.
So sad…..
