Reviewing our photos from our recent 3-day trip I came across this gem. The sight of this sad old cinema as we walked along the sea front at Weston- super- Mare gave us all a fit of the giggles. I thought at first it had started life as The Gaumont and the G had slipped, but a closer examination reveals the original name to have been The Regent. Nowadays however, with an R and two Es missing, it revels in the surreal title The G'nt (which of course simply begs to be pronounced "Gunt").We spent a breathless few minutes discussing how locals would say "been to the Gunt lately?" or "Coming down the Gunt tonight?" or "what's on at the Gunt this week" etc etc.
