I’ve collected some photos of the Odeon, which may be of interest at: https://co-curate.ncl.ac.uk/odeon-cinema-pilgrim-street-newcastle/

I remember seeing the first Star Wars movie at the Odeon, when I came to Newcastle as a student. The closed cinema has been a depressing site for years now. The listing and then de-listing of the building is interesting and shows the tensions that can arise between heritage and redevelopment!

Thanks Cinema Treasures!
