The Regal

A Memory of Harlow.

In the fifties I remember the Regal cinema at Temple Fields. I think it was an old factory converted to a cinema. I used to go on Saturday morning with my older brother. You had to be arrive early or it would be full and you would not get in!
There was a piano and we would have to sing before we could watch the films.
"We come along on Saturday morning, greeting every body with a smile etc" could be heard every week. Great days. It was not the same when the Odeon was opened in the new town and the Regal closed.

I came to Harlow in 1952 at the age of 10 and loved Saturday morning pictures! Anne Hackett (nee Wells)
The first film I ever saw was at the Regal. It was Bambi, and I cried. Happy days! Sue Ewing (nee Browne)
