The Regal Cinema was built in 1931 by the Bath Cinema (Leamington) Company which was owned by my gt aunt Edith Devis. The Bath Cinema Company also built the Bath (Clifton) Cinema and bought the Scala and Regent Cinemas, finally owning all 4 Leamington Cinemas. The Company also had sites for two further cinemas in Warwick and Stratford. The Bath Cinema Company sold all 4 cinemas to the Clifton Cinema Company in 1937.

The Scala Cinema was bought by the Bath Cinema (Leamington) Co in 1930 after the previous owners became bankrupt. The cinema was modernised and was sold to the Clifton Cinema Group in 1937 along with the other 3 Leamington Cinemas.
