Situated at 15 New Road, Framlingham. Planning permission granted in February 1963 for change of use from cinema to light industrial use. In December 1963 planning permission granted for alterations to form workshops and storeroom. By 1975 it was a commercial vehicle workshop possibly operated by A G Potter. In 1992 planning permission was granted for change of use to hardplay area for adjacent primary school.
I visited the Regal Cinema regular in the 1950’s and early 60’s.The Cinema can be seen in the photo at top center, it brings back many memories. If my memory is correct the films ended at about 9.30pm then I would cycle home 4 miles to Easton, my clothes would smell of cigarette smoke. I did save all the film programs but when moving house discarded them, wish I still had them.
