0810 Berkhamsted Rex (24)

            The side has been rendered and painted and on the car park - to the extreme left of the photo is a new build development of flats The new entrance to the cinema can be seen under the left side of the protruding projection suite, supported on a continuation of the girders from the balcony. Opened in May 1938, the Rex was designed by David Evelyn Nye for the Shipman & King circuit. It seated 1,100 with more seats in the circle than the stalls due to the location of the cafe on the ground floor. The circle was twinned - badly - in 1976, and the stalls became a bingo hall. It was closed in 1988 and also listed grade 2 the same year. It was left in a vandalised and derelict state, with calls for its demolition. Almost miraculously it was restored and reopened in 2004, with enormous success, the large foyer separated as a restaurant, and the former car park used for flats, but the glorious auditorium renovated as a single screen once more, now seating 350 in luxurious comfort.
