Cinema memorabilia to go under the hammer

Jan 24 2007

By Northwich Chronicle

MOVIE lovers can get their hands on a little piece of cinema history - the Regal's contents is up for auction! Bosses are going to put everything from fixtures and fittings to movie posters - even the big screen! - under the hammer next week. There will be around 200 lots, including seats, the famous old clock from Regal Cinema One, projection equipment and even fire hose reels. Regal Cinema owner William Godfrey said: 'It's a chance to buy a little piece of Northwich history. 'It's very sad because we know how much the cinema means to local people, but we had to close it for economic reasons. Story continues ADVERTISEMENT 'However, people who have good memories of the cinema can get their hands on a lasting memento.' Meanwhile, 40 seats have been handed over to Northwich's Salt Museum. Mr Godfrey said: 'They are wanting to set up a small cinema to show archive films there from time to time so we were pleased they could take some of the seats.' The lots can be viewed at the Regal Cinema tomorrow (Thursday 25th of January) from 10am-4.30pm and an online auction will take place at www.bidspotter.com on Thursday, February 1.
