Odeon Leicester
Located on Rutland Street, Leicester. The Odeon Theatre opened on 28th July 1938 and was designed in an Art Deco style by Robert Bulivant of the Harry Weedon Partnership of architects. It had a seating capacity of 2,182.
Converted into a triple screen in 1974 it closed on 16th July 1997. After staying empty and un-used for several years it was re-furbished and renovated in 2004 and now is used as a Conference Centre and Banqueting Suite known as the Athena.
This photograph I took in June 1965 when I began working here as a trainee assistant cinema manager.
