A little gem, hidden down a side street of leafy Berkhamsted - The Rex Cinema is a charming throwback to 1930s art-deco and traditional cinema and film.
Originally designed by David Nye in 1936 and opened in 1938, it was re-opened by owner, James Hannaway, in 2004. Hannaway restored the cinema to its former glory and it now sells out most days and is cherished by many.
The cinema is a small piece of history that oozes style, class and luxury.
I went behind the scenes and spoke to James Hannaway and the staff at The Rex to find out a bit more about what goes on in this little cinema.
Absolutely beautiful. Lovely to see a real cinema restored and tastefully modernised at the same time. I wish it were more local to me, I'd be there every day...bacuase I would be desperate to work there!
