General - Odeon Leeds

[Gary W]

Noticed this week by the merrion centre Leeds, there's a lot of work going on by the hotel there. Just behind there is an old Odeon cinema. Main entrance was originally in the shopping centre itself. Any ideas anyone on if the cinema is gonna remain? Very intriguing old cinema but not sure on access.

The old entrance is where the Yorkshire bank machines now are. According to some fairly old photos I've seen somewhere online, the old cinema has been stripped of almost all of its features.

Edit - here's the link to those photos: https://www.flickr.com/photos/rikj/sets/72157594550990196/

Hey. Fascinating building. You used to be able to see the foyer from a window above the cash machines as you come from the car park but that's covered over now. Never been in it sadly.
