I have very fond memories of The Odeon, my Mother used to work there as an usherette in the 1970’s. My Brother and I spent many happy hours there watching films and roaming around the cinema – much to the annoyance of an audience that was watching a film that happened to be on at the time! It is a beautiful building and a much missed cinema, it still stands empty.
The following photos, were taken in My 2000 and 2001.
The last photo was taken in August 2010.
Please check out my report on the demolition of The Odeon, in the Leisure site section of Derelict Places. www.derelictplaces.co.uk
The Coliseum was demolished in 2011.
The Odeon is still standing – but only just. It is being demolished as we speak.
Another photo of The Odeon, taken in April 1999.
