The Hippodrome was at the bottom of Ellison St. (a theatre not a cinema)
On Blackburn Rd, between Ellison St and Oxford St, was the building which housed the 1st Accy ASDA in 1962. The building burnt down a few years ago whilst it was Glynn Webb, who built its present replacement, (recently taken over by another similar trader whose name escapes me).
Before ASDA in 1962 - I think it was 'car sales' - but if anyone knows different, please say so.
