Regal – Colchester – unlisted
Built – 1931

The entrance façade is in Masey’s distinctive Spanish-American mode, a style which was continued internally. Regrettably most of the auditorium decoration has been lost in drastic subdivisions over the years, carried out by the later owners Odeon, while vestiges remain in the former extensive café on the first floor. The building is disused and looking for a new owner.
