Saving the Art Deco Friezes on the Odeon Hartlepool

Similar to Lord Elgin taking the marble freeze off the Parthenon.

Love it!

Thanks Mick its good to see they are taking care , they weren't designed to be taken down I guess

I'm over the moon they have saved them ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I'm disappointed I never got to see inside the building. When I was a child it was briefly the nightclub then boarded up ever since.
Hopefully these will be restored, kept in Hartlepool, and repurposed.

Meanwhile, up the coast at Blyth in Northumberland, the old Half Moon Inn at South Beach was demolished. It was a very old Inn that had a very special mixed history. The bar area was floored with black marble slabs laid over a sand base. The walls were Queen Anne bricks. The bricks alone were worth over 50p each. The whole lot was scrapped!!
