Odeon Tapestries

designed by MplusC

Opened in 1938 and half destroyed during WWII. While it was rebuilt and restored to it's original glory then, it has been very poorly treated since the 70's. I visited recently and, on seeing it's current state, decided it had to be my next subject. It deserves some new love.

In the former Naval industrial town of Woolwich, close to the foot tunnel under the Thames and the ferry crossing, is the ODEON Woolwich. Designed by George Coles and opened in 1937, it has lived three lives. As an ODEON until 1981, the Coronet until 1999, and now as the New Wine Church. The building's magnificent facade is still impressive and modern 81 years later.

Shown here on its opening night, November 2nd 1937 with The Prisoner of Zenda, the Odeon Leicester Square was the shining jewel in the crown of Oscar Deutsch's neon empire. It was designed by Harry Weedon and Andrew Mather and built by Sir Robert McAlpine. While keeping with the striking modernist design common to many Odeon cinemas, it broke with convention in the choice of polished black granite. It has hosted numerous world premieres and Royal Film performances.

Now in full night-time glory. Opened in 1938 and half destroyed during WWII. While it was rebuilt and restored to its original glory then, it has been very poorly treated since the 70's. I visited recently and, on seeing its current state, decided it had to be my next subject. It deserves some new love.

Pavilion Fountain Number of views as of 9th October 2018 = 590. Some might say that this shot is a little too 'busy', and the daffodils are definitely past their best, but the tulips, palms and buildings in the background make for an interesting composition and mix of colours, so here goes... By the way, it's Bournemouth not Barcelona! The fountain is outside the Pavilion Theatre, and across the road is the former Odeon Cinema. Date: 26th April 2009. Location: Bournemouth, Dorset, England.
