Odeon Relics

Photographer Philip Butler’s new book Odeon Relics, currently on Kickstarter, charts the history and fate of the UK’s Odeon cinemas. There’s something rather melancholy about it – a lot of these bizarre, beautiful buildings have been turned into shops or bingo halls. Still, it’s nice to see that the Bromley Odeon, beloved fleapit of my youth, has been rescued and restored by Picturehouse.
