 | | For the Loughborough seating capacity of 1,625 without the cost of land, the cost per seat was £18.76. |
 | | The Odeon at Loughborough was built at an estimated — or rather published — cost of £50,000 (the same figure as quoted for the town’s New Empire) for the then rapidly expanding chain of Oscar Deutsch, and it held 1,625 seated patrons (1,029 in the stalls and 596 in the circle). |
 | | The Loughborough Odeon was more fortunate than most, even those that remained in cinema hands, in that when Mecca decided to sell, it was bought in 1977 by the locally-based businessman, Mr James Thomas, who has maintained the building immaculately as the present Beacon Bingo operation. |
