Old Cinema Welshpool
Posted in Art Deco, Cinemas at 20:15 on 14 April 2019
On the way back from Powis Castle we decided to take a quick look at Welshpool – the signposts to the castle had led us to bypass the town centre on the way there.
I spotted this building on Berriew Road and of course had to stop for photographs.
What a stunner. It absolutely screams Deco. The curves, the banding.
It’s the former Pola Cinema, now a beauty and fitness spa.
Its windows are also a delight:-
I found these images of the cinema’s past incarnations on the internet at cinema treasures.

Great pictures of the Pola, Welshpool.
I am desperately trying to find out the name of this building’s architect. Any ideas?

Ned,
Thanks for looking in and commenting.
I’m afraid I hadn’t a clue who the architect was. The internet is no help either.
