Metamorphosis
Conversion of the old Town Hall In Oldham, Lancashire into a Cinema and Leisure Complex (2016)
The building was designed by George Woodhouse in the Greek revival style - was completed in 1841 and extended in 1880.
The Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council headquarters moved from here in 1974, to Oldham Civic Centre in 1977 so the building stood empty for many years.
In October 2009 the Victorian Society declared the Town Hall as the most endangered Victorian structure in England and Wales. Proposals were sought for the redevelopment of the building and, following works undertaken by Morgan Sindall to a design by the Building Design Partnership, it re-opened as a modern multiplex Odeon cinema in 2016.
