Opened in 1931 this was the Paramount Theatre and then became an Odeon Cinema - closed for the last time in 2002, since then it has stood empty. Was Grade 2 listed on the advice of English Heritage, then delisted following an appeal from the owner. Various rumours circulate about the future use, most recently was suggested that Selfridges were going to move in but all seems quiet at the moment. A lovely building that deserves some care and attention
