How many cinemas did Leicester have?

Thinking back, also remember Dr Who and the Daleks at the Classic Cameo- Sound of Music at the ABC Market Place- Zulu Dawn at the Cinecenta and Alien at ABC, Queen Street.
 
I remember queuing to see Grease at the ABC, next to the roundabout about 200 yards along from Ainsley's. Think there was a Wimpy on the corner opposite?
I saw Grease on the second day of release. First day it was bookings only. Still the biggest queue for a film i have ever seen. From the ABC steps to opposite the Clock Tower. The School holidays helped.

I think the queue I was in went down an alley to the side of the cinema, but it's 40-odd years ago so I may be mistaken. Most of my RAM for that memory has been allocated to Olivia Newton-John...
 
Met my wife here on the back seat. She was wearing an extremely short skirt. I thought she was at home minding the kids.
