Jehovah's Witness Hall

This is a former Odeon cinema, dating from 1937 and designed by Budge Reid of Harry Weedon and Partners for Oscar Deutsch and the Odeon cinema group. The building is constructed of brick with a steel frame, and features a foyer block clad in black and cream faience. It has a double-height auditorium with a balcony, accessed via a foyer and staircases.

The symmetrical facade, facing Castle Hill, is in a Moderne style. It contains five entrances recessed into the foyer, sheltered by a wide, curving canopy above which are five ventilation apertures. Above the entrances are five deeply recessed windows at first-floor level, also topped by a moulded canopy. The rear wall of the auditorium is of brick, with rounded and channelled corners. The pitched roof is hidden. Single-storey, curving links made of faience are situated on either side of the building, while the return walls are of plain brick.

Inside, the wind lobby has five sets of original swing doors with acid-etched decoration, and a central pay box facing outwards. The wide entrance foyer has stairs at either end leading to the balcony; the ceiling is decorated with three plaster saucer domes featuring concentric mouldings.

The large, double-height auditorium is splayed out from the proscenium, with a shallow stage. The ceiling steps down in arched lighting coves, with a plain segmental ceiling over the balcony. Plaster mouldings sweep from the wall coves to the proscenium. The auditorium incorporates Moderne-style ventilating grilles on the splay walls, a continuous moulding above the proscenium flanked by wings studded with roundels, and a honeycomb design fibrous plaster grille in the ceiling cove near the balcony and at high level on the rear ground floor wall. Original "Odeon" style doors, with streamlined mouldings over the glazing panels, are found in the rear ground floor wall, on the right-hand proscenium splay wall, and on the rear balcony wall. A wide vomitory entrance is located at the centre of the balcony, a notable feature being the increased number of rows (nine) in the front of the balcony compared to the rear (seven).

The building is a significant example of a 1930s Odeon cinema, retaining its original auditorium layout and floor levels. It was converted into a Jehovah's Witness Hall in 1976.
