The Parkway reopened in August 2007 and these pictures were taken a week later. It is a comfortable theatre with generous legroom and a large (new) screen in the lower auditorium. It has been fully refurbished for the reopening, retaining the Odeon seating.
Don’t think the above comment applies to the Paramount / Odeon – there is no basement remaining after the 1960-ish demolition. The site is still vacant in 2007.
