Hi Robert,

I am sure that there was never a cinema in Evelyn Road, Sparkhill. The nearest was probably the 'Picadilly' in Stratford Road.

Looks very much like a residential road from this image. Can't imagine it having a cinema (although not impossible of course). Viv.

Right Viv, no sign of any cinema. A church, school and electrical substation, but no cinema

I can remember no cinema on Evelyn Road or any talk of one. The women's hospital used to be on the corner where the school is now. I suppose the nearest cinema would have been the Savoy or later called The Sparkhill Picture Palace on the corner of Nansen Road.

Had an "Aunt" who lived in Evelyn Rd. far too sedate to have had a cinema, you would have to up to Stratford Rd for the likes of a cinema.
Nice picture Viv.

Thanks Mike, Phil and Tim. Yes 'sedate' is a good description! Very respectable road. Viv.
