The ABC was opposite the entrance to St David's, The Odeon was where HMV no is.

Am I right in thinking this used to be where HMV stores is now?

Great video Fred, keep them coming along. 03m 11s that's Deep Impact (1998) playing I can hear the James Horner score, so there still using Dolby A and SR back then. Sad that most single screens are falling victim to multiple shoe box sized cinemas. I still haven't heard 70mm Todd-AO six-track only Dolby six-track types and Dolby SR-D dts types, also I haven't heard SDDS8.
