The Kwik Save store was the site of the Regent cinema from 1932 until 1949, when the building had a fire which closed the cinema for ever. The building later became the Leyland branch of Woolworths, with its distinctive wooden floor, the area still known as Woolworths corner. The name of the Regent is still remembered with Regent Road further along Towngate.
