The Odeon |
|
The Buckland Picture House, later re-named the Regent, was built in
London Road in 1920. In 1936 the original theatre closed and was
demolished to make way for the new Regent, which opened in March 1937. Acquired by the Odeon group in 1943, it was re-named and continued as the Odeon until it closed in 1971. The cinema was later demolished to make way for a new T.A. headquarters. |
