The Royal (as it was advertised in its last decade or so) closed on Saturday February 26th 1966 after a seven day run of the revival double bill Ivanhoe and Tarzan and the Mermaids. The cafe appears to been open to the end.

There is a new proposal to build a hotel within (and above) the existing walls.

The nightclub has now closed and the building is boarded up and for sale. Photos taken October 2007.
