As far as I can tell it has become a hardware store. An unfortunate fate if I do say so.
My father managed the Regal Theater in the late 50s when Church St was still booming. I spent many hours in this theater, and saw many double features. Great memories.
I saw an ad in a Norfolk newspaper for the Regal that said it was previously the Palace.
I remember watching The Dirty Dozen at the Regal & that was in 1967.
I worked at the regal in the 70s
