Hello
I am looking for any information you might have regarding the old PYRAMID theatre/ciname on Washway road in Sale Trafford Manchester. M33 7QY.
I am doing research on the property as I have just taken over the lease and need to present my case to the conservation officer. Since it is a listed building I need to find out as much as I can about it.
I have been to the local library and found that a Mr Peter Robinson did a project on the building earlier this year in Jan.?
Please help
Many thanks

Julia,
I did indeed do some research on the ‘Pyramid theatre’, which was presented at the Current Research in Egyptology conference, held at Manchester University in January 2008. There is an abstract for the paper on the CRE website (http://www.current-research-egyptology.org.uk/cre-9/cre-ix-abstracts.pdf). As yet, the paper is unpublished, though I do have notes and a presentation.
