Mike, many thanks and very interesting, I am guessing that the above purchased the cinema from my Grandfather when he retired at the age of 79 in 1968. My Father has some material of the cinema, but to my knowledge the only interior photo is one of my Grandfather in his office there. For interest, you may be aware of the Pathe news article covering the opening of the Regal Cinema in 1934, in it my Grandfather is pictured talking to Clifford Mollison in the cinema foyer.
Replying to an old post but sorry Mike you are wrong, the Regal Cinema was built, owned and run by my Grandfather, Sam Jay, from 1934 to 1968 when he retired. I suspect Ken Jones might have bought it in 1968.
