Broadway Bridge spans the two roundabouts where Townsend Avenue crosses Utting Avenue. Built in the 1930's, it replaced the smaller bridge (same design as the one further down the line at Broad Lane) to allow trams to pass under it and on to the estate. The bridge at Broadway is identical to the one that crosses over Walton Hall Avenue on the north-western tip of the estate.

Trains stopped running on this line back in 1975. Nowadays it is used as a cycle path.

The Regal was opened in January 1930 and was Liverpools first specifically built Talkie-cinema.* It could seat 1,756 in its stadium style stalls area. As well as a cinema screen, the cinema also had a stage and a suite of dressing rooms, intended for variety acts.

Despite being the only cinema on the estate, competition for patrons was provided by the nearby Ritz Super Cinema on Utting Avenue, the Clubmoor on Townsend Lane and the Carlton in Tuebrook.

In August 1955, the Regal closed for refurbishment. It was re-opened two months later by Liverpool F.C. legend, Billy Liddell. The film showing that day was Such Men are Dangerous starring Kirk Douglas. Due to the modernisation, seating capacity was reduced to 1,200, in order to create a two-tiered area at the rear of the cinema.

Phil Robertson fondly remembers the day 'King Billy' visited the Regal: "I was one of the many people who watched Billy Liddell re-open the doors of the cinema. He took a penalty and shot into a makeshift goal they had set up at the front door of the building. In fact, if there are any photographs around of this event, I could even be on them as I was only a few metres away from King Billy when he 'scored' that day."

In 1964, despite still being a popular venue for local cinema goers, the Regal switched to bingo. Today, the Regal is still a bingo hall and remains popular venue. Of an evening, the bright neon lights that illuminate the building, help the Regal retain some of its original charm.
