Odeon cinema Kettering retro special of 33 pictures from the archive

This week we’re delving into the archive looking back at photos of the soon-to-close Odeon cinema in Kettering

The eight-screen Odeon opened on the site close to Junction 9 of the A14 in 1997 with James Bond blockbuster Tomorrow Never Dies.

Kettering's original art deco Odeon Cinema had been demolished in 1974 to make way for the Newlands shopping centre development.

On January 28, the curtains will close for the final time, leaving Kettering without a cinema for the first time in more than a century.

So let’s indulge in some nostalgia and take a trip down memory lane.
