This 1930s cinema has been closed for years, but is still in beautiful condition. It all seemed very familiar – I’m sure I went to see some films here in the late ’90s. Anyway, pictures:
A couple of the smaller screens:
A projection booth:
The foyer:
The curving stalls lounge is stunning:
The largest screen, with starry sky lighting and niches for statues – most had been roughly removed:
The redevelopment left a couple of statues marooned behind the new screen:
Up the stairs:
The top projection booth:
Function room:
Basement:
And there were some lovely Peerless projectors tucked away backstage:
Is this the old Odeon in Renfield St?
Former Regal Cinema (ABC1) Sauchiehall Street? Was a fabulous cinema before it was subdivided up.
I agree, but it’s not that one.
That’s not the old Odeon in Edinburgh is it?
Stunning.
Such a shame this palace of dreams hasn’t been repurposed allowing the architecture to continue to bring joy
