Classic Cinema, Hagley Road West, Quinton, Dudley, 1982. The Classic Cinema viewed from the south-east at dusk, showing the illuminated sign and billboard, with parked cars and motorcycles in front. The Danilo Cinema opened in 1939 and was the largest in Mortimer Dent's chain of Danilo Cinemas. It was later taken over by Essoldo, Classic, Cannon, ABC, Odeon, and finally by Reel Cinemas. In the early 21st century Reel Cinemas restored the building's facade to its original art deco style.
