The Odeon was built as a replacement to the demolished Regal/Odeon Stockton of 1935 vintage.

It was built on the same site as the previous cinema and had an interior design by Anthony Sharp. Seating was all on one level (stadium style) with no overhanging balcony.

It opened on 25th April 1968 and closed on 24th October 1981. After several years not being used it was converted into The Mall disco from 1987 and from 2000 it is currently known as the Zanzibar nightclub.

The Odeon opened with Julie Andrews in “Thoroughly Modern Millie” so the first photo I posted above is from around May 1968 during it’s ‘Roadshow’ presentation here and not ‘early 1969’ when that film went on Odeon general release. The cinema was equipped with 70mm projection facilities.
