The Hoyts Regent Fitzroy was an early casualty of television closing on 17th September, 1960 with James Stewart in “The Mountain Road”. The cinema was altered as a television studio for HSV 7. It was last used as a legit theatre in October 1975 for “The Rocky Horror Show”.
Although it was relatively intact, it was derelict for years and was demolished in 1983 - Ian Hanson
