History of Bradford Cinemas by Colin Sutton

The Old Cinemas of Bradford & its Suburbs

Do You Remember These Lost Picture Palaces?

Attention - Soon to be Demolished !
The former New Victoria / Gaumont / Odeon
Theatre/Cinema, Ballroom & Restaurant building.
Read about this wonderful and unique building that should be restored.
It would make a superb 3000+ seater Concert/Conference Hall/Theatre and just what Bradford really needs for staging big-name events to bring visitors to the city.
Check out the work of the Bradford Odeon Rescue Group (BORG).
