    Arrow THE ODEON -HARLOW- ESSEX-NOV 2010

    THE ODEON -HARLOW- ESSEX – NOV 2010

    I'd been meaning to go here for a while now and on the spur of the moment went for it
    Sorry pics are ropey all on phone camera


    Just a brief bit of its history.
    It opened if Febuary 1960 and had 1244 seats and was owned by Rank.
    In 1987 it was close and the rear stalls were converted into 2 smaller screens & re opened as the ODEON.
    It failed to compete with the six screen multiplex opening up and down the country.
    It was closed in August 2005 and very little has happened with the building since apart from the hundreds of cobwebs i found getting wrapped round my face.:wideeyed::wideeyed:
    The place still has power and running water
    But could I find the light switch for the main lobby area could I heck.
    There was one door that was locked in that area & can only assume thats where the switches are.
    Without going in to details of entry this is not the easyist in the world ,
    .
    Cant realy say more than that other than my exstraction was funnier than entry.
    Im not sure if it was mission impossible or the key stone cops ?
    Anyway on with the pics[/B]

    Outside veiw.






    The projector room.
















    Then on to the three screens.





























    On to the lobby area.
















    Sorry I cant resist it “Thats all folks”
    Thanx 4 looking in
