The Regal Theatre Tenbury Wells providing Cinema, live stage shows, comedy, workshops, children and family events, summer school
The Regal Theatre opened on Thursday July 29th 1937 but the building to which alterations were made in 1936 to construct the foyer, offices and projection room, had stood on the site for many years.
In this picture of 1904 (see gallery) the building looks very much like it does today. If you look closely you can see the awning outside one of the shops.
The cinema retained its Victorian front with its columns until 1969 when it started to fall down and was rendered over and lost much of its character. It was probably about this time that the regal neon sign was removed.
W H B Ashley who sold 47 and 49 Teme Street to Mr. N J Robson of Craven Cinemas Ltd. is shown as head of the household on the 1911 census aged 39. His father William Ashley was living there in 1881 when WHB (William Henry Barnard) was eight.
The Ashley family ran a plumbing business from 47 Teme Street while two of its members became solicitors clerks. Who remembers Ashley and Davis solicitors of Tenbury?
So much on offer here..
