Originally the ABC Regal, this was split in 1972 with bingo in the

stalls and a

single-screen Odeon in the old circle area (526 seats).

The auditorium

is set far back from the road, and the very plain facade leads to a

long corridor in order to reach it. Renamed Odeon in 2001.

Additional pictures of the

rear

of the auditorium exterior, and the

of the facade & corridor are available.
