Majestic (Odeon) Cinema


Here are 2 views of the Majestic Cinema in Forge Road, which was also called the Odeon before closing.

The Majestic opened in 1938, just 2 years before the Plaza. It was taken over by the Odeon group later in its life, and during the 1970s became a bingo hall. The building finally closed for good in 1980, and was demolished as part of the development of the new Tesco site in 1995.
