St Albans: Former Odeon cinema
Fourteen years after its closure in 1995 the Odeon survives but its Art Deco façade is slowly crumbling and its fate, as far as I know, is uncertain, with various plans afoot to demolish it and build flats.
What is certain is that there is a lot of vehement public affection for the place, and also that the site is an important one in the history of British cinema. This is not just any old Odeon site but the location where the British cinema pioneer Arthur Melbourne-Cooper (1873-1961) opened his Alpha Picture Palace in 1908, one of the first cinemas in the country. Showing pictures that included those from Melbourne-Cooper's production studios over the road, the original cinema sadly burnt down in 1927. Melbourne-Cooper was supposedly the person who originated the idea of having sloping floors in cinemas too.
The current building here in London Road dates from 1935, and its closure left St Albans without a cinema at all.
