The Regal Cinema opened in the early 1940’s. Closed in late-May 2001, the building stood empty and unused until 4pm in the afternoon of 13th December 2008, when it was badly damaged by fire, which had been started deliberately. The auditorium was demolished, leaving only the facade and foyer standing.

I was in Larne last week and am sad to report the auditorium of the Regal cinema has been demolished. The frontage in still standing but for how long? Wouldn’t it be great if the auditorium was re-built and the still existing frontage refurbished and retained.

Does anyone know Pat Watson? She worked in the Regal the early sixties. I am looking for her. Many thanks, Monique Morshuis, The Netherlands:
