Scala was built just post WW1 as the Victory Cinema for S T Gamlin. The Architect, Alfred J Taylor, a well known Bath Architect.
Name Changed to Oldfield Picture House and then in 1935 billed as The Scala.
Believed to be the first Bath Cinema to show feature length talkie in July 1929
Regal Court is not the site of the former Regal Cinema, but that of the former TA HQ.
The cinema was about 200yards to the right of the picture opposite the red brick 2 storey office block.
Similar design to the Regal Wallingford, Regal Tring and the unbuilt Regal Bradford on Avon
