The demolition of the historic Futurist cinema - just hours after a bid to save the building was thrown out by top judges. A long-running legal battle ended earlier when the Court of Appeal backed the £39m development bid that will see a hotel, new shops and student accommodation built on Lime Street . The decision means the Futurist - Liverpool’s first purpose-built cinema - will be demolished along with a host of neighbouring properties over the coming weeks. Contractors moved onto Lime Street earlier this evening with the road blocked off between its junctions with Ranelagh Street and Skelhorne Street. Bus routes were changed and a council spokesman said the demolition of 10 buildings on Lime Street - between but not including the listed Crown and Vines pubs - would be carried out in the next few weeks.
