Colour photograph showing part of the façade of the Odeon Cinema in Colchester. Taken from the road, it shows the upper storeys of a central entrance bay, with a high arched window dominating the bay below a very high, almost Gothic apex. Small windows at first and second floor level flank the main window; those at first floor are balconied. The name ODEON appears on a vertical sign at the apex and a canopy that covers the entrance is just in shot at the bottom of the photograph.
