Regal Cinema |
|
During the 1940's- 1960's the Regal Cinema ran a free Christmas show and film for the children of Portadown, it was considered a big event, the queue stretched way over the Bann Bridge, no child was refused entrance and each got a 'thrupenny bit'
(3d = 1.5 pence in today's money) and a bag of sweets. |
Same 1961 event as photo on left, this was taken outside the cinema entrance, the glass doors reflect the houses opposite the Regal in Bridge Street, between Marley and Francis Street these houses were demolished in the late sixties as were the streets. |
