General notes

This photograph was taken from the Odeon Cinema on the corner of Broadway and Cornhill.

Attached to the photograph is a quote, possibly by Garth Dawson: "Broadway 1960's at the far end was the Odeon Cinema, the cinema was reputed to be haunted, myself and a report spent a night in the building looking for the ghost... Alas nothing only fear fo[r] both of us. The Odeon was opened in 1037, [1937] and its original name was the Regal."
