Parish Hall

In the Overview I expressed the hope that another contributor would be able to confirm that the Parish Hall had, indeed, been home to the Regent cinema - and Darron Keeling has now done so! He has very kindly drawn my attention to chestercinemas.co.uk, which confirms that the Parish Hall operated as the Regent cinema during the 1930s and 1940s (so later than I thought) and includes a poster, from July 1945, that lists Mrs Grainger as the manager. At that time, three shows a week were being presented: on Monday + Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday + Saturday (with no shows on Wednesday or Sunday). My grateful thanks to Darron.
