Decoid Sutton
   


 


Remember I went to a meeting in Sutton Coldfield a few weeks back? Here's the deco evidence. Sutton has (had) one of the finest Odeon deco cinemas, so I stopped on the way out of town, bought a disposable camera, and preserved it for digital posterity. When I went inside, I had a rather bizarre conversation with a lovely, older, woman working there, who told me they'd just "ripped out all that old-fashioned stuff. Got to move with the times, love." That's what she said. I, of course, disagree. But then I used to frequent the Tuschinksi Cinema when I lived in Amsterdam.
