Odeon Port Talbot

Originally opened as the Majestic Cinema in January 1938. It was taken over by the Oscar Deutsch chain of Odeon Theatres Ltd. in 1940, after construction was delayed in their cinema in Talbot Road, they sold their interests in the Talbot Road cinema and it became Plaza Cinema. It was re-named Odeon in April 1947.

The building remained in cinema use until it closed on 27th March 1971, when the Rank Organisation suddenly pulled out and sold the building.

It was converted into an independent bingo club, which closed on 6th September 1980. The building lay unused until its demolition in July 1995 for a new Tesco store, by which time it was in a terrible state of repair.
