Re: cinemas
The King's Hall was not a very salubrious place.......but we went because it was cheap and I liked Flash Gordon....and I think they used to show Our Gang, which I loved. It was only twopence to get in, but it was always rowdy and you used to get the kids upstairs throwing orange peel at you.
I am going back a long time. The Ritz used to change the programme up to 3 times in a week. I used to walk past it on my way to school and I would spend time looking at the stills that they put in a case outside, to tempt you to see the picture. |

Re: cinemas

Somebody mentioned the name at the last AccyWeb meet and it rang a bell with me.

Re: cinemas
Think the Odeon was originally called the Regal. Before my time, but I'm sure I've seen a photo of it somewhere.

Re: cinemas
I'm sure it was, but it is well before my time too.

Re: cinemas
There is a picture of the Regal Cinema in the Gallery....under the Category Old Accrington.

Re: cinemas
The Regal was opened in 1936, I believe it was renamed the Classic and then the Odeon.
