Odeon

The back of the old Odeon cinema in Birmingham has always been one of my favorite architectural sights. Built in the 1930's, it stands out like a beacon, surrounded by ultra-modern architecture such as the Bullring and Selfridges. The building has quite an intimidating feel to it and is made to look incredibly run-down by its surrounding structures. I was interested to find that the Odeon building in Liverpool has a very similar style. This was built many years later but it appears that the architects were keen to keep the classic feel of one of the oldest cinemas in the country.
