Regal DJ to Write Book

Posted By on October 16, 2009

As resident DJ at the nightclub in the 80’s, twenty years on I now would like to preserve all the memories from this building. With you’re help we can bring back this great Beverley building and so many happy memories. Ask you’re parents, grand parents, dig out the photographs from the loft, The Regal needs you.

The Regal Cinema, Café Restaurant & Ballroom built & opened 1935. A fine example of 1930s Art Deco style, stood on the corner of Manor Road & Norwood, Beverley, East Yorkshire, England.
