It was constructed in the International Modernistic style and is arguably the best remaining example of Glens work\, with all the main features still in place and sympathetically renovated.\n\nThe Savoy was very popular and originally held almost 2000 people in the 696 seat circle and 1200 seat stalls. It was designed both as a cinema and theatre complete with orchestra pit. It hosted shows and concerts as well as films.\n\nIn the 1950s it was renamed the ABC in line with the groups national branding policy and was the local venue of choice for the touring bands of the 60s\, including the Beatles in both March and November 1963\, the Rolling Stones in 1965 and infamously PJ Proby in 1965\, when he was arrested for splitting his trousers on stage!\n\nA number of the 60s bands have returned to play The Deco Theatre in recent years\, including the Hollies\, the Searchers and Billy J Kramer.\n\nIn 1974\, it was converted to a three-screen complex by using the rear of the stalls with a dividing wall for the 2 smaller screens and leaving the main auditorium circle as the main ABC 1.\n\nBy the mid-90s\, however\, the ABC now renamed Cannon cinema was unable to compete with the modern multi-screen complexes and it finally closed its doors in 1995 with the appropriately named Terminal Velocity.\n\nThe building was derelict for five years until 2000 when it was converted to a multi-purpose venue opening in October 2004.

These pioneering artists crafted idealised rural vistas to illustrate the myths of Ancient Greece and Rome\, imbuing natural elements with metaphorical meaning. Through their romantic and structured visions of the countryside\, landscape painting began to gain recognition as a meaningful art form. \nIt was not until the 19th century\, however\, that landscape truly came into its own. Artists such as J.M.W. Turner and John Constable redefined the genre\, capturing the drama\, emotion\, and grandeur of the natural world. Their work affirmed landscape as a powerful subject in its own rightone that continues to inspire artists to this day. \nDrawing from the museum collections\, this exhibition explores the evolution of landscape painting\, where nature takes centre stage. \n  URL:https://www.discovernorthampton.co.uk/event/from-the-collection-landscapes/2025-09-09/ LOCATION:Northampton Museum And Art Gallery\, 4-6 Guildhall Rd\,\, Northampton\, Northamptonshire\, NN1 1DP\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Museum ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.discovernorthampton.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/dmas_fa1992_9_d01_960.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
