NOTES: Closed as an Odeon in 1972, this cinema reopened in 1974 as an Asian cinema, renamed Liberty. This closed in 1979. The auditorium was gutted in 1983 for an indoor market. The auditorium was demolished c.1985 and the foyers likewise for a Majestic wine warehouse, although the frontage was retained. Flats were built on the site of the auditorium and then the Foyer Apartments above the wine warehouse.
