MARCH 22 2016 – a day that has gone down in Lyme Regis’ history as the day we lost our beloved Regent Cinema.
It was a sunny Tuesday afternoon – and I remember that because the blinds were pulled down in my office at St Michael’s Business Centre to stop the glare on my screen as I put the finishing touches to that week’s edition of the View From Lyme Regis, just about ready to send to print.
I can’t remember what the front page story was – whatever it was, it was quickly forgotten when a call came through to our office from one of our regular informants.
“Any idea where that fire is?” he asked.
