History
​

The Odeon Cinema in Oxford Street, Manchester originally opened in 1930 as the Paramount Theatre and was built for the Paramount Film Company of America to the designs of F. Verity and S. Beverley, who also built the Plaza Theatre in Lower Regent Street, London.

The Theatre had seating for 2,920 people on two levels, Stalls and Balcony, a fully equipped stage and fly tower, dressing rooms, and orchestra pit and its very own Wurlitzer 4 manual 20 rank publix No.1 Theatre Organ.

The rest is on google!

After getting a tip off from @stranton and @Coolboyslim I decided one night to go down with a friend, in to which I found myself inside this place by accidentaly getting in! I spent two nights at this place first with a friend and the second with the local tourbus from bolton! It seems to be pretty well kept until the builders got in, seems like it wasn't in too bad condition before they had started the demo!

Mmm close up porn!

Have you seen this man?
