Colour photograph showing the façade of the Odeon Cinema in Colchester. Taken from across the road, it shows a central entrance bay, with a high arched window above (and in this case a very high, almost Gothic apex), and side bays at either side in Italian style with balconied windows and shops at ground floor level. The name ODEON appears on a vertical sign high up on the central bay and a canopy covers the main entrance. Signage either side of the recessed entrance advertises forthcoming attractions.
