Art Deco cinema in Ayr. Statue of Robert Burns to right. Memorial to Colonial Wars to left.

Apparently this is the first true Odeon to be built in Scotland. Sadly as the following two photos show it is now somewhat in need of care and attention.

Odeon Cinema, upper portion:-

The Forum. Stepped roof-line, streamlining, rule of three in windows (disappointingly eyes poked out.)

Sadly no longer a cinema.

I featured this ex-cinema here.

Last March when visiting the antiques shop(s) now house dnsid ethe building I took these photos of the detail of the two tower portions:-

The former Rex Cinema is a stunning Art Deco building – in that blocky institutional style favoured by government buildings and dictators – in Coalville, Leicestershire. After ceasing to be a cinema it became a Dunelm Mill but that too has shut.

Frontage:-

This view shows how closely located is the Rex to the Palace Cinema – also Deco:-

A beautiful piece of Art Deco in Rhyl, North Wales. The former Odeon Theatre in Rhyl is now a bingo hall. From reverse shows horizontals, verticals, curves, a canopy and rule of three in windows (whose eyes have sadly been put out.)

High Art Deco style here. Curved corner, streamlining in the brick:-

Entrance, canopy and white cladding:-

Full frontage (stitch of two photos):-

Detail. Note rule of three in the small windows here:-

Just down Hill Street from the town centre proper, in Brook Street, lies Atik, formerly the Odeon Cinema:-

Strong verticals, rule of three in columns (and windows.)

Stitch 1:-

Stitch 2:-

The building as it was :-

Lonsdale Cinema, Annan:-

Mianly verticals but a kind of rule of three in the doorway:-

The entrance is now to the rear:-

Police Station. Horizontals and verticals, stepped roof at corner. Its windows have been ruined.

This building in Tallinn looked impressive from this angle:-

These columns even more so:-

On rounding the corner to the entrance I discovered it’s a cinema, Soprus. Pity about the van in front. Nice wee fountain though:-

In November 2018 we visited Rochdale for the second time.

I photographed two more Deco style buildings.

Former King’s Cinema later converted to Bingo but that has also closed and the building is now in a sad state of neglect:-

Spotland Bridge. The unusual roofline, projecting beyond the slope of the roof, gives it the deco look:-

Inverurie is a town in Aberdeenshire.

The closest thing to Art Deco I saw there (and definitely 1930s in style) was the Gordon Highlander pub:-

From side:-

Now a Wetherspoons:-

Face view. Vertical and horizontal brick banding and rule of three in windows to side blocks:-

Edited (16/12/23) to add:-

This it seems was once the Victoria Cinema.
