Located in Keighley, West Yorkshire. Built in the 1890’s as the Town Hall Livery Stable. It was converted into the Regent Picture House, opening on 24th July 1920 with Constance Collier in “The Impossible Woman” & Henry B. Walthall in “The Man Who Found Himself”. Around 1930 it was equipped with a Western Electric(WE) sound system. It was an independently operated cinema until around 1958 when it was taken over by the Leeds based Star Cinemas chain. At some point of time, the façade was covered with metal sheeting. Star Cinemas closed the Regent Picture House and from 10th December 1964 it was converted into a Star Bingo Club, which was still operating in 1976.
