Plaza Cinema, Weston-super-Mare

They all had similar 'moderne' features with a square tower with a flat slab supported by columns and a squat main building.

The main auditorium was split into two levels and two small studio auditoria were created under the original balcony.

Much of the original interior was retained during the rebuilding including, in the main lower screen, the Compton organ.

A curved canopy projects outwards from the slab tower, while the foyer is accessed from the street via four circular steps leading to five sets of double doors.

There are two three storey high wings which enclosed the original single auditorium, allowing commercial revenue from shop units at street level and offices above.

[3] The facade of the building is covered in biscuit-coloured faience, except the shop areas on both wings which are clad in black glass Vitrolite panels.

At night neon lighting placed in line with the green faience, around the 'Odeon' and along the edge of the canopies provided an a-typical Art Deco attractive feel to the building.

[11] The six ranks of pipes are: Tuba; Tibia Clausa; Vox Humana; Oboe; Flute; Cello.
