Odeon and Marlow Donkey - familiar Marlow sights from the 1970s

This first picture shows the former Odeon Cinema, in Station Road, with what is now known as Marlow Place next door.

The cinema is thought to have started life as the County Cinema in 1938 and was set back from the road with a forecourt in front.

It was taken over and renamed Odeon in the 1940s and later again taken over and renamed Regal Cinema.

It was sadly demolished in 1985, and offices named Regal House now stand on the site.

Marlow Place can be seen just behind the tree in the modern-day image.

This second photo shows the Marlow Donkey on the corner of Lock Road and Station Road.

The pub still stands in the same place and is popular with locals.
