… Originally the Gaumont Theatre Holloway. Late Art Deco in full regalia. Not much of the original interior remains though.

Week 24: Breaking the Rules
I'd say I broke the rules of proper exposue here as well as the one saying you can only use vintage lenses like this with a lens hood in direct sunlight. Perhaps also some rule on finding an interesting subject and avoiding busy looking backgrounds... who knows. I just had 2 minutes of time before I had to rush back to my kids who were already shopping, so I was only looking for color: Guess I found it!

Designed by George Coles and commissioned and built by Phillip and Sid Hyams, the cinema opened in 1937. The Gaumont State was one of the biggest auditoria in Europe, with seating for 4,004 people. The name State is said to come from the huge 120 feet (37 m) tower, inspired by the Empire State Building in New York City. The exterior of the cinema is designed in an Art Deco Italian Renaissance style, covered in cream ceramic tiles. The tower, designed in the style of a 1930s New York skyscraper, can be seen for miles around, and bears the name "STATE" in large red neon letters. The interior was designed in the opulent style of cinemas of the day, and includes a Wurlitzer organ which is today one of the largest fully functioning Wurlitzer organs in Britain. It is also one of the few cinema organs remaining in their original locations. (Wikipedia)

Great, i didnt even know i had this pic until i was going through a old CD looking for something and came across it. The sole point of the image being the facade of the old cinema which holds many memories for residents of Wallasey. The demolished Unit 4 as it was know to me, for more information read what other have said on this image which i also took a few years ago. I seen Star Wars inhere when it first came out!!

Gaumont Cinema St Albans, the auditorium from the stage end of the building, when in use as the Chequers Bingo Club.Opened as the Grand Palace Cinema - with a small variety stage and dressing rooms - in June 1922, designed by Harry R Finn of Mence & Finn. It had 1,400 in stalls and balcony levels. It was renamed Gaumont in 1950, and closed in October 1973 after the nearby Odeon had been tripled. It was sold and reopened as the Chequers Bingo & Social Club in 1974, but was closed and demolished in 1987 to be replaced by an apartment block known as Chatsworth Court.

Bradford Live Theatre. The auditorium seating newly installed in the theatre. Opened as the New Victoria in September 1930, the New Victoria was one of the UK's largest and most luxurious cine-variety theatres, with 3,318 seats on three levels, and an extremely decorative scheme, the architect was local man William Illingworth. It became the Gaumont in 1950 with the decor being modernised, but the real damage came in 1968/9 when the interior was largely smashed to create Odeon 1 (400 seats) and Odeon 2 (1,200 seats) using the two balconies, and the Top Rank Bingo Club using the stalls and stage. Odeon 3 was created - with less internal damage (features were boxed-in rather than trashed) - in the Ballroom in 1969. Bingo ceased in 1997, and the three cinemas closed in 2000. The building was then abandoned, nearly demolished on two occasions, before being acquired by the City Council. Even then ruinous schemes were considered until in 2017 it was decided to rain the auditorium for return to live use. It has not been possible to completely restore the theatre to its former heydays, but where possible details remaining (and there are many) have been retained. It will now accommodate over 3,800 and is due to open in Autumn 2025, during Bradford's Year of Culture under the control of Trafalgar Entertainment. Architects for the redesigned Bradford Live were Aedas Arts Team/Tim Ronald Architects.

Le pont Confluences est un pont en arc à tablier intermédiaire franchissant la Maine à Angers, dans le département de Maine-et-Loire et la région des Pays de la Loire en France. Il s'agit du huitième pont de cette ville, situé entre le pont Jean Moulin et le pont de la Haute-Chaîne. Ce franchissement est réservé à la première ligne de tramway ainsi qu'aux modes de transports doux, à savoir vélos et piétons, et en cas de nécessité, aux véhicules d’urgences.
Le pont Confluences est situé entre le centre hospitalier universitaire d'Angers, au sein du quartier de La Doutre, et le quartier Saint-Serge, aux abords du cinéma Gaumont Angers Multiplexe et du siège d'Edf-Gdf Services Anjou.
D’une longueur totale de 293 mètres, le pont Confluences présente une travée principale de 161 mètres, présentant la particularité d’être suspendue à un arc métallique axial par le biais de suspentes rayonnantes. L’arc traverse le tablier sans être liaisonné à celui-ci.
Commencé en 2008, il est inauguré le soir du 15 octobre 2010
