Regent Cinema
A Memory of Deal.
My family were Skinners of Deal. My mum Sheila used to work at the Regent cinema on the sea-front. I used to love being able to go & see films over & over when she as working there, (I remember seeing "The Music Man" 7 times!). Does anyone remember the little pony & trap that used to give rides to the children? It used to leave from round the entrance to the pier & go along the sea-front and back - a treat indeed for us kids. There also used to be a photographer who used to stand by the pier & take day-tripper's photos. Does anyone remember the old man (or so he seemed to me as a child), who used to sell matches outside Woolworths (I think it was). He had medals across his chest & used to have his tray of goods round his neck. I also vaguely recall a barrel organ & little monkey in the High Street. Finally, does anyone recall when Ricemans went up in flames? Their shop was in the High Street & went up with a huge blaze!
