jimmy87notts 22 Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 I heard today that demolition has started on the odeon cinema on angle row. Wonder what will be put in its place and does anyone have any photo's of it in its heyday? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

taxi ray 170 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Looking at the planning application, it is going to be shops, office space and student flats, it looks like it is going to a tall building as it mentions, 14 floors. http://plan4.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/WAM/pas/showCaseFile.do?councilName=Nottingham+City+Council&appNumber=12%2F02701%2FPNMA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zab 47 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 I've got a feeling Bromley House Library and some others objected to the height as it would impact on the gardens at the back, so, there may be a revised plan, on the other hand, the planning department may just have ignored them.

tomlinson 879 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 I remember the Odeon re-opening as a double cinema, a new thing then, in 1965, I think. Being shown were, 'The Sound of Music' and 'Mary Poppins'. Been to some good concerts there too. Sad to see it go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Being shown were, 'The Sound of Music' and 'Mary Poppins'. Been to some good concerts there too. Sad to see it go. I seem to remember the opening film was 'The Battle of Britain.' Also memorable were the chaotic two concerts by The Beatles, the last being Nov.5th 1964..great times! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Happy Jack 3 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I was lucky enough to see the Beatles both times at the Odeon, I remember the second time you had to write to the Evening Post for tickets and each person was only allowed 2, Me & 4 mates all wrote seperately, I was the only one to get 2 tickets, now the Dilema which mate to take !!

.... 23 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 My older sister and husband-to-be went to those Beatles gigs at the Odeon. According to the latter, a complete waste of time as he couldn't hear a thing for the screaming! When the Odeon went multi-screen it seemed very ground-breaking at the time. Think this was the last film I saw there, Seven in the mid-nineties. It was a shame to see the old place sitting there crumbling. I hope they replace it with something useful. No doubt the ubiquitous student accommodation will feature. I hear today that accommodations for NTU students is so oversubscribed that they're housing city students down at Clifton campus...

.... 23 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Just a suggestion. Were Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music the feature films when the Odeon was re-opened as a multi-screen cinema (around 1965?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd agree with Sound of Music/Mary Poppins as the openers when the Odeon was twinned. Julie Andrews mania. The film Battle of Britain wasn't released until 1969 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mudgie49 401 Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 What a sad set of photo's showing the Odeon. I remember going to 'see' the Beatles,now and again there was some sound,'thank you and ta-ra',was about the most audible. The last time I went,was to see Doctor Zhivago. It was quite the cinema in its day,and the most expensive if memory serves me right,Gaumont or the Elite for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gibbo 04 188 Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Anyone, my age, remember going to the, I think, Saturday Morning Picture Show for kids? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,003 Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Off Topic (Odeon) but anybody my age remember going to the old Tudor in West Bridgeford for the Saturday morning matinees? Picture from 1959 courtesy of PTP Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moobug 3 Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 What? NOOOOOO! I remember it closing but always half-hoped it would be reopened as a theatre or another small cinema or something... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Curly99 2 Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Sad to see the Odeon go but if all the people who say they will actually miss it had used it maybe it would still be open, having said that I remember my mum and dad dropping us kids off to watch a film while they went off to do the Christmas shopping, also remember that one year the Wilford power stations kids Christmas outing was to the Odeon to see the Disney film Robin Hood and Santa Claus Curly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
