Elevated general view of Bradford from Central
Library c.1970. (Structures Section, Engineering Division). This
was the original Odeon, designed by Robert Bullivant and constructed
at the bottom of Manchester Road. It suffered in the World War
Two bombing of Bradford of 31st August 1940. The Wardley Redevelopment
Plan of the city centre demolished it to make way for the Law
Courts/Police Station complex (itself due for redevelopment -
the Police Station closed in 2007 and reopened at Nelson Street.)
This cinema closed on 22nd March 1969.
