| 説明 | One of only eight remaining Grade II Iisted Odeons of 258 beautiful Art Deco cinemas built in the 1930's by Oscar Deutsch, this one in Hanley, Soke-on-Trent opened on 13th February 1938 showing Max Miller in “Educated Evans”. Behind this small entrance foyer on the corner of Trinity Street, the bulk of the auditorium along Foundry Street provided seating for 1,036 in the stalls and 544 in the circle. Decoration is in typical Odeon style with a slender 'Streamline Moderne' fin tower on the left side (dwarfed by the monstrous 1970's Brutalist concrete excrescence next door) and clad in cream faience tiles. The cinema was closed by the Rank Organisation on 15th November 1975 with Roger Daltry in “Tommy”. The auditorium was stripped out in 1980 and used as a storage facility but on 4th August 1982 it was damaged by fire, although luckily the main shell of the building escaped. It then lay derelict for over a decade: however in the '90's the building was renovated and by 1999 a bar was operating in the former foyer area. In 2003, the auditorium had been brought back into use as the Chicago Rock Café. In 2008 it changed hands again and become the Revolution bar & nightclub but that closed in 2012 and the building has been empty for the last decade. In December 2021 plans were announced to demolish the former Odeon to build flats. Although as at April 2023 planning approval hasn't yet been granted, give it enough time for the Council's apparent headlong dash to eradicate any traces of the City's past and yet another iconic and historic building will disappear for ever.
