Comment by Julian Hellaby on January 30, 2026 at 8:20: I’m sure the Odeon must have closed many years ago! Maybe it was relocated?

Comment by Hugh 11 hours ago: Google Maps shows it as having been shrouded in builders sheeting for the past five or six years. However, the street view image from 2019 shows a clean looking frontage of the Dominion Church with the very prominent lettering for the Gaumont Palace cinema. I would’ve thought that name predated the Odeon one. So I’m not quite sure, if that’s the case, why the trouble was taken to replace the old lettering.
