Notes on The Regent Cinema in Brownhills include the following sentence - 'As in almost every other part of Britain, the inhabitants of Brownhills first saw films as presented by travelling showmen at the fairground. Among the showmen and fairground folk who came to Brownhills Wake were the Jervis brothers: Miles, Edward and Tom.'
The Jervis family originating from Yorkshire were Pottery Marketeers, and because of this would attend goose fairs and such which also provided entertainment, including Film Shows. Showing films on 'the road' became troublesome, and so Edward Jervis put down roots in the Cannock area, renting a Hall in Chasetown which he eventually sold to Miles Jervis. Miles later moved the the Palace in Walsall Wood with a different brother. The Regent Cinema in Brownhills was owned by the Jervis brothers and their offspring.
