The Regal cinema, café restaurant and ballroom opened for business in 1935. This fine example of 1930s Art Deco style architecture stood on the corner of Manor Road and Norwood in Beverley, East Yorkshire, England.

This book chronicles the seven decades that the building was operational as the main source of entertainment for many local people.

The hardback book has over 260 colour pages, contains 11 chapters, over 90 thousand words and over 1,800 images.

The book will be launched on 2nd November 2014, exactly 79 years since the Regal first opened its doors in 1935.

This photograph was taken 26th June, 1948 to celebrate the opening of The ABC Minors. The photograph features on page 36 of my book explaining the full story.

This cinema was in my home town and I worked in the building in the 80’s as a DJ. I am now writing a book about the building form construction in 1935 until demolition in 1998. The book covers the brief history of the main building first built in 1761, Construction, Cinema, Ballroom, Bingo, Beverley Hills Discotheque, Snooker Center, Regal Nightclub, Closure & Demolition. If anybody knows anything about this great building & would like to contribute, all memories & photos will be entered in the book. Many Thanks
