The Regal Cinema

 


The Regal Cinema was a popular entertainment venue in Maidstone, Kent, England, for many years. It was originally known as the Bug Hutch when it opened in 1922, and it was one of the first cinemas in the town. The cinema was renamed the Regal Cinema in 1930, and it underwent a major refurbishment in 1954.

The Regal Cinema was known for its Art Deco architecture and its comfortable seating. It was also known for its wide variety of films, which included both Hollywood blockbusters and independent films. The cinema was also a popular venue for live performances, such as concerts and plays.

The Regal Cinema closed in the early 1980s, as a result of the decline of the cinema industry. The building was later demolished, and the site is now a car park.

The Regal Cinema was a popular part of Maidstone's history, and it is still fondly remembered by many people who used to go there to see films. It is a reminder of a time when cinema was a major form of entertainment, and it is a shame that it is no longer with us.

Spring time

  The sun awakes in a sleepy stretch,  Yawning warmth on a winter's wretch.  Birdsong flutters on the breeze,  Waking trees from slumber...
