A Son of the Rock

Worcester was the first big place we went on our recent trip. We took the Park and Ride as the easy option.

I noticed this Odeon Cinema on the way in just before the drop-off point and so took the opportunity to photograph it a bit later. Unfortunately there were works of some sort going on on the road outside it so you can’t see it all properly.

Just across the road from the Odeon and a few yards up is the former Gaumont Cinema which now has Gala Bingo emblazoned on it. The whole thing was too long to get a direct frontal shot.

The facade looks like this close up:-

Researching these on the internet I also came across this beauty at cinematopia.co.uk. It’s called the Northwick (an area of the city apparently.)

Histories (and photos) of these and other non-deco Worcester cinemas can be found here.
