I believe the designs were Sutton Coldfield’s just rejigged to fit this site. There is much much the same to be a brand new plan.. So Cecil Clevering should be credited
Odeon Colwyn Bay was the same style
I’ve uploaded 2 photos, but first time they were out of focus,so I tried again, and had a better result, but I’m unable to erase the blurry ones. Is it possible to do so ?

THE NEW REBRANDED ODEON IS ONE OF THE SMARTEST REBRANDED ODEON,S IN YORKSHIRE. HOWEVER, IT WAS UNFORGIVABLE TO SPLIT THE BALCONY INTO 2 SCREENS THE BALCONY WAS THE ONLY SOLE SURVIVER OF THE TRIPLING DONE BY FORMER OWNER/S RANK. THANKFULLY,THE EXTERIOR REMAINS IN IT/S TRUE ART DECO STYLE.
