Plaza Cinema, Art Deco movie theater in Port Talbot, Wales.
The Plaza Cinema features a prominent traditional Odeon design with a grand entrance, foyer, and original seating capacity of 1,447 across multiple screens.
Opening its doors in March 1940, the Plaza Cinema operated until 1983, transformed into a bingo club, then reopened as a three-screen cinema until 1999.
Richard Burton and Anthony Hopkins frequented the Plaza Cinema during their early years, connecting this venue to Welsh performing arts development.
The structure received Grade II status in 1999, leading to preservation efforts and a £3.6 million allocation for renovation into a community facility.
The cinema used an innovative periscope projection system to create multiple screening rooms from the original projection space during its 1980s renovation.
