Campaigners have launched a bid to save an art deco cinema at the centre of a Beatles heritage site where John Lennon spent many “happy hours”, as it faces demolition to make way for a new Lidl branch.
The discount supermarket chain revealed plans to pull down the Abbey Cinema in Wavertree village, Liverpool, after surveys it commissioned suggested the property was “beyond economic repair”.
The proposals, which the firm has opened to public consultation before a planning application is submitted, show Lidl would replace the former Co-op store with a design intended to “pay tribute” to the original building.
