Waterfront (IMAX) Bournemouth Dorset

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST!

The Waterfront - IMAX building alongside the Bournemouth Pier Approch is probably the most deeply unpopular building in the history of the town.

The site was formerly occupied by public baths; these were demolished in the early 1980s and for years it formed a gravel extension to the car park behind. In the 1990s this edifice was erected and the IMAX cinema finally opened in 2002, after much delay. But it was widely criticised as being too big for the site, as it blocked the sea views from the descent of Bath Road.
