EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and elegance of the Woolwich Odeon as it stood in October 1937, just days after its opening. Located on Parsons Hill in Woolwich, London, the Odeon Cinema was designed by the renowned architect George Coles and is a fine example of the Art Deco style. The building's exterior is adorned with buff faience tiles, which add a warm and textured quality to the structure, while the curving horizontals and verticals create a sense of dynamism and movement. The name "Odeon," proudly displayed on the wall, is hidden behind an integral car park, a testament to the forward-thinking design of the time. The car park was a revolutionary feature that allowed cinema-goers to conveniently park their vehicles close to the entrance, enhancing the overall experience of a night at the movies. John Maltby, a talented photographer, captured this image in October 1937, just a few days after the cinema's grand opening. The photograph not only showcases the architectural beauty of the Woolwich Odeon but also transports us back in time to an era of recreation and leisure, where the cinema was a central hub of community life. This photograph is a valuable record of London's rich architectural history and a reminder of the magic and wonder that the cinema once brought to people's lives.
