Hi I was very interested in the OLD WOOLIES topic, and weather it was a cinema. Well,it WAS a cinema and I think it was called the Regent.
I used to go there as a child,and it was quite a good little cinema,since all the top films of the day where shown hot off the press so to speak.
There was another cinema in Leyland The Palace and this is now a bingo place (I think) .It is just off the roundabout Hough lane/ Chapel brow.I remember going to the Regent to see a film called The Golden Salamander, and having to sit through it twice because there was an air raid on, and it was safer to stay in there than risk walking home.By the way ,that was WW2,not WW1.hope those times don't come back.Sure they won't.
All the best for now Tony
