  • <p>Regent Theatre Guildford - Photo of the front foyer staircase, leading to the dress circle, also the entrance to the stalls on the left. Much the same as it was in the 1920’s-1960’s. Today the theatre still retains the original proscenium, valance and red curtains, along with the staircase to the circle – EXCEPT – now the theatre is functioning as “The Museum of Natural History” – featuring The Academy of Taxidermy – Check out this historic theatre & museum.</p>

              <p>Slovenian Hall (Formerly Regent Picture Theatre and Gardens) 129–133 James St, Guildford. Also known as Garne Hall. Architect: Samuel Rosenthal. It was commissioned by George Hall Esq. as a low budget operation in times of relative economic hardship. The vestibule was small and the theatre was also to be used as a hall, so there was provision for an adequate platform stage. It has unadorned geometric forms which are shown to advantage in the ballustrading on the balcony - Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript">
