An old wooden ABC puzzle, no brand, no artist. It has 432 small pieces and is push fit with colour line cutting around the figures. It measures 28x30 cm. The colours are really bright.
No clue why there is a painter among the figures. Also curious they swapped the M - N and V - W. I suppose it is because of the space available, but nevertheless...
ex ABC / Cannon / City Cinema, Newport, Wales. One of the fine modern ABC cinemas built in the 1960's with spacious stadium-style auditoria and large curved screens. The Newport ABC was designed by C Foster and Alan Morgan, had 1,320 seats, the largest screen in Wales, and it opened in November 1968. It stood on the site of the former Lyceum Theatre, which had closed in 1961 and was swiftly largely demolished. The site lay vacant for years, and a small corner fragment remained next to Merlins Club. It was tripled in December 1980, but closed in 2008 to be converted into a Travelodge Hotel.

Former ABC cinema in Hoe Street Walthamstow, it is a Grade II* listed building. Looks like the windows have been bricked up at some time.
Saturday 16th April 2022 saw Liverpool play Manchester City in an FA Cup semi-final at Wembley. With the West Coast Main Line affected by engineering works, it was bound to produce a good selection of coaches with around 250 turning up. I noted 22 different coach body manufacturers to give plenty of variety to the day.

Former Forum/ABC Cinema Liverpool
Lime Street, Liverpool
William Glen and A Ernest Shennan
1931 - Grade II
"The Forum Cinema on Lime Street opened on the 16th May 1931 having been designed by William R. Glen and Alfred Ernest Shennan for Associated British Cinemas (ABC) at a cost of £200,000 pounds The massive six-storey Portland stone facade was a feature of Lime Street on of Liverpool main thoroughfares. The Foyer was lined with Italian Marble.
The Forum was one of the finest super cinemas of the early 30s, with a 100 ft. bronze canopy, a white marble stairway and café. Thousands of Merseysiders went to "the pictures" at the Forum. The cinema was renamed ABC Cinema in February 1971. It was converted to a triple screen venue and on 24th August l982, over 5,000 people passed through the £350,000 conversion, to watch a specially produced short called "The Cinema Strikes Back". This was intended to win back former cinema goers. It was re-named Cannon in 1986 and remained so until closure in 1998. A building that many in the city remember using, The Forum finally closed its doors on the 28th of January 1998."
