Odeon (Savoy) Cinema, Newport
From Wightpedia
The Art Deco Odeon Cinema, on the corner of Town Lane and Pyle street, Newport, Isle of Wight, was opened in 1936.
The Cinema was taken over by IW Theatres in 1961 and renamed 'The Savoy'[1].
Once the Commodore Cinema in Ryde was split into 3 screens and a Bingo Club, the Savoy was the largest cinema on the island.
The cinema was closed in 1982 and subsequent demolished. The site was redeveloped as housing (Savoy Court) with a retail unit at street level.
