Comments from Ian - Cinema Treasures

Four interior shots from the mid to late 1980’s – they have been digitally rescued from negatives of poor original shots, but give some idea of the interior of the Odeon when it was up and running.

The entire building is now threatened with demolition to facilitate a road widening scheme which only requires part of the long narrow entrance hall.
