Description: | 7 January 1937
Opened on 16 November 1936, the architect was A.V Montague and the builders were Kenyon and Co. It took them only 27 weeks to erect the cinema which provided seating for 1,500 and a car park for 400 vehicles, at that time the largest cinema and car park in the country. The first film shown was 'Strike Me Pink' starring Eddie Cantor and Ethel Merman. It closed on 11 January 1964 and was demolished and a supermarket built on the site. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Regal Cinema | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
