Both the Palladium and the Astra were owned by Hutchinson Leisure Group in the 70s and 80s, which turned into Apollo Leisure Group.DDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13376731039541268993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942077973453785319.post-77478492196207431832012-08-24T16:37:37.546+01:002012-08-24T16:37:37.546+01:00Missed this somehow.

As usual we will all end up paying for their self-aggrandizement.<br />What with politicians and royalty all leaping on the bandwagon it's a wonder there was room for any athletes.<br />Love the Wetherspoon. You were very brave eating in there.

Please also send her best wishes from Wisconsin.<br /><br />Why is it that when I saw the name 'Gwynedd' my mind immediately took me back to a Jeeves and Wooster and the line 'Gladys with a W.' Made me laugh. Sorry, I digress. I'm dying to get to Wales now, your post and George the Lad who was at Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. I like the angle of the posts and awning of the Victorian walkway. Very nice. What a treat it must have been to visit the Palladium! So sad about the theater organ. Unfortunately, that kind of thing happens too often. I agree that it's better to have the building turned into a pub where at least they've tried to restore some of the glory of the interior, rather than gut it and turn it into condominiums. Laughed at the Marble Arch shot. It's changed a great deal since I saw it in London. lolCranberry Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758563068581561194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942077973453785319.post-39662341322889430862012-08-08T12:48:56.772+01:002012-08-08T12:48:56.772+01:00More of the architectural shots please :) I love t...More of the architectural shots please :) I love them and finding out about places that you would just pass by.<br />I'm glad that Wetherspoons were not allowed to change the Palladium so it would be unrecognizable. <br /><br />Well you got two wrong and not the ones you thought! you put B6,C7 it was the other way around B7,C6. even Howard didn't get all of them right and he was there at the time!! <br />Best wishes to your Mother, and thanks for your visits<br />JanGeorge The Ladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02153242284238986801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942077973453785319.post-85078317110863006852012-08-08T12:25:22.303+01:002012-08-08T12:25:22.303+01:00J, the history of the gallery and theatre is very ...J, the history of the gallery and theatre is very interesting. I don't like to admit it but sometimes the end justifies the means and if an architecturally valuable building can be preserved by converting it into something not that ideal, well, that may be just one chapter in the building's story.<br />I like the shot with the round window :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942077973453785319.post-59155799772272817062012-08-08T00:27:14.367+01:002012-08-08T00:27:14.367+01:00Beautiful and not at all boring!Beautiful and not at all boring!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10123691580195879542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942077973453785319.post-34944582418723438242012-08-07T21:27:11.822+01:002012-08-07T21:27:11.822+01:00Well, it didn't bore me at all Jay!
