Background
History
Built for ABC Cinemas, the six-story building was designed by William R. Glen and Alfred Ernest Shennan for £200,000 with a maximum capacity of 1,835 people. Originally opened in 1931 as "The Forum", ABC Cinemas renamed it in 1971 to the "ABC Cinema" and later split into three individual screens in 1982. In 1986 the cinema was yet again renamed, becoming "The Cannon" until its closure in 1998. The building has been temporarily reopened for use as an exhibition space for the Liverpool Biennial in 2016.
