Odeon Cinema Bradford Yorkshire Architect William Illingworth
It is known that William Illingworth had studied the designs of Filippo Brunelleschi (1377-1446) a leading figure in the development of the Italian Renaissance and his revival of classical forms of architecture based on mathematical, proportion and scientific understanding of perspective and the construction of octagonal domes as in the Cathedral of his home town of Florence, Illingworth created a building, the very latest in cinema construction and a striking example of what was to become an internationally acknowledged theatre/super cinema to rival the classical style of the great American movie theatres.
