Leigh Kennedy… A nice colourised photo of the Regal Super Cinema taken in 1937.
Reid McDuffie… Where was the regal and what’s there now?
Claire Lonsdale… Reid, it was on London Road where that horrible Heron house is.
Reid McDuffie… Really? Wow, it would be wonderful if it was there now. An Art Deco gem
Kevin White… It’s actually a bit further down towards the sea where Ocean house is , just above Warrior Square Railway Station, there’s a footpath, just out of sight,on the left side of the building that leads down to it and Kings Road
Andy Maby… The tall red bricked building above St.L Warrior Sq starion Reid… (was once Gundolphus House or Ocean House)
Trevor Spears… Went to Saturday minors there in the dim and distant past!
Jacqueline Marsh… Walked past it every day to school at Christ Church, and one of my class mates called Stella lived in a flat in one of the houses by it. I remember the Saturday minors also.
Peter Ellingworth… If you remember the footpath led down to just by the old GPO sorting office at the end of King’s Road, and the Warrior Square station concourse.
Linda Gowans… With an old Anderson shelter visible part-way down on the right, if I remember correctly.
Lynda Whatley… Saturday Minors comes to mind – lovely days – used to attend Christ Church School back in the day
Graham Matthews… Our infrequent trips from the countryside into Hastings or St Leonards, was usually a school holiday trip on the bus with Mum. This was often a Cinema trip here or Norman Road and a meal in a Café by Skinners Garage, run by a family friend, Councillor Eric Duck, and a look around Kings Road, exciting times as a youngster.
Jacquie Hinves… I remember it so well! When at St Richards School our wonderful form teacher Mr Jose Santos took the whole year on two double decker buses there to watch “ The Prime of Miss Jean Brody” and “A King for all seasons” Wonderful and very happy memories.
Peter Brazier… I remember watching it being pulled down! Such s pity as inside (from what I could see anyway) was classic theatre architecture with ornate balconies and theatre Box’s etc, Nothing like that in Hastings anymore
Sid Saunders… I saw Max Miller there.
Douglas Palmer… My brother Brian Palmer worked there in the early 50’s. I think he was a projectionist.
Peter Bridger… I remember it stood derelict for years. There was still a tatty poster outside for the last act there “Syncopating Sandy”
Sid Saunders… Peter, I was there when he was playing the piano non stop on the stage. 1956.
Peter Bridger.. Wow, that poster was there for a long time!
