When the Bradford Odeon opened as the New Victoria in Bradford in 1930, the stunning Art Deco building was one of the largest cinemas in the country Featuring a grand ballroom, lavish restaurant and an auditorium that could seat more than 3,000, the landmark venue quickly became the thriving heart of entertainment in the industrial city Today, the owner of the now derelict building has offered to sell it to Bradford City Council for the nominal fee of £1.
