The Globe/Rex/Tatler Cinema Club/Classic/Cannon

Fratton Road, Portsmouth

1914-1983

The Globe/Rex, Fratton Rd, was opened in 1914, showed its first sound film in 1929, then closed for redecoration and modernisation in 1936. In April 1937, its name was changed to The Rex, and the licence was transferred to Tivoli (Portsmouth) Ltd. Like a lot of small cinemas, it became a food/furniture store during WWII and reopened in July 1945. It finally closed in 1983
