Newcastle Odeon Refuses To Go Down Without A Fight
Newcastle’s Pilgrim Street Odeon has taken its final curtain call – and went out in true dramatic style by collapsing into the road.
It’s been undergoing demolition since January, the local Chronicle reports, but late last night decided it wasn’t going without a bang. A big one, presumably, as its frontage wobbled and fell, blocking the road.
