  • Later home to BRMB. I spent many happy hours there either interviewing the presenters for another Radio station or being part of the Sunday breakfast team in the eighties. Were Staple's now are was a rather rough car park then! So bad that it the end I parked in the side street. easier at 6.30am on a Sunday!

  • @merionyydd Well done to mention BRMB in this upload

  • The reason I commented. was that The ABC aston Cross Cinema was120 yards towards erdington. Alpha was a brand name of the ABC Telivison a division of ABPC. ABC only managed to get the weekend franchise but made a deal with ATV to use it Mon to Fri. Ironic a Cinema company owning a TV station This company later became Thames..

  • Correction it was the Astoria Cinema. opened as the Theatre Royal 1893. projected films from behind..

  • @mikerubb It was an ABC when it closed in 1955, although I'm sure its name would have been as you state, but generally its described as ABC Cinema to avoid a long explaination into the ease of the television company of the same name owning the building already to convert it to Alpha.
