Times Past at The Regent Cinema in Waterloo

TIMES at The Regent Cinema remain in the memories of many Crosby people.
David Miley has submitted a photograph of the picture house and anyone who knows the date of the photograph is asked to get in contact with the Crosby Herald.
As a child in the early 1960s David attended the Minors of the ABC Club on a Saturday morning.
He said: "It cost four pence and a man would come on stage at the beginning singing 'We're the Minors of the ABC'.
"Some kids would get bored with this and start to throw things at him only to be bawled at by a fearsome usherette wielding a torch that looked like a World War II Army Cycle Lamp."
He said a similar arrangement trip to the Odeon in Waterloo cost six pence.

In the evening he said the Regent was transformed and he also once went to see The Ten Commandments with his parents.
On screen there would be adverts for local shops including the hardware store across the road and Bobby's Milk Bar in Moor Lane.
He said: "During the interval we sat in the lounge on silk upholstered wicker chairs and my mum drank from a cocktail glass."
