Suffolk

Built c1830, the building is now The Aldeburgh Beach Lookout, a centre for the arts and performance and a gallery. It is listed Grade II.

These days the Regal is an independent 3 auditorium cinema and theatre located in the heart of Stowmarket, Suffolk. Opened in 1936 as a 566-seat cinema for VEH Cinemas Ltd it saw many successful years, but by 1972 it was facing closure. The former Stowmarket Urban District Council stepped in to save the day and ownership was transferred to Stowmarket Town Council. Since then there have been several refurbishments, particularly after a major fire in 2009.

Whilst heading for Southwold I was delighted to find the corrugated iron fire station at Wrentham. It looks as if it was created out of a former village hall.
