78a: *Extra Episode - 30-minute SoundscapeEach week on The Planet Reigate Podcast we end with our '60-second Soundscape'.Now, uniquely, we have produced our first '30-minute Soundscape', half an hour of natural sounds from across the Planet Reigate area - birds, ducks, insects and the occasional dog and light plane. No voices. No surprises. Nothing loud.It's 30 minutes of natural sounds from where we live, to relax to, meditate to, to listen to while working, driving or revising. Or just when your head is too busy and you don't want to listen to music, phone-ins or DJ banter. Just set the '30-minute Soundscape' to run, adjust the volume, and bring a little bit of Surrey direct into your ears.Courtesy of The Planet Reigate Podcast .Intro music:SOUNDSCAPE PolkadotFlowersMusic Item ID: 136304431 Listen:           https://linktr.ee/PlanetReigatePodcast Web:              www.ThePlanetReigatePodcast.com Facebook:      www.Facebook.com/ThePlanetReigatePodcast Insta:              theplanetreigatepodcast X (Twitter):    https://twitter.com/PlanetReigateEmail:            [email protected]   Hosted on Acast.

The Story Of Bancroft Road ReigateHow many times have you driven into Reigate either from Redhill, or from down the Hill, and found yourself in the town’s one-way system, taking that awkward sharp left-hand turn off Church Street, past the town’s only multi-storey car park on the right-hand side, the library tucked away at the dog-leg bend, the Everyman cinema on the right and up to Bell Street..?Have you ever looked at the building on the left-hand side, Pool House, and wondered how it got its name?Maybe you knew that it was built on the site of the town’s swimming pool, that opposite it, the cinema sits on the site of another cinema, so grand it was called The Majestic, and that that building was almost side-to-side with the town’s first cinema, The Hippodrome.This special episode of The Planet Reigate Podcast brings together features from Christmas and New Year shows of 2024 and 2025, all in one place. Together, hear the story of Reigate’s Bancroft Road.The love story at the heart of the development of both the Majestic Pool and Majestic Cinema.The rise and fall of both businesses and the people behind themHow the road they were on got its name – and it’s not named after who you might think.We discover the grave of the couple who made both ventures possible, and how their love endured, and go behind the scenes or rather underground, into what is left of the pool today.The episode is made possible by the research of Sean Hawkins and by kind permission of Spencer Copping of WS Planning and Architecture, which is based in Pool House.I invite you to listen to The Story Of Bancroft Road Reigate… on The Planet Reigate Podcast.

Harlequin Questions To the Council LeaderWelcome to this first ‘special edition’ of The Planet Reigate Podcast. One of the biggest issues in the area for the past year, coinciding with the launch of this show, has been on-going drama of the future of the Harlequin Theatre in Redhill which has been closed since September 2023 when the dangerous reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (Raac) was discovered.On Thursday 28th November a council meeting was held in which members of the public were invited to ask their questions about the Harlequin and its future.This is a slightly-edited version of that meeting (for reasons given at the start of the episode), and on a platform which is, I hope, easier to navigate than the version on the council's website.------------------------------------------If you get value from The Planet Reigate Podcast, please give us value back in return; click here to support us with a small donation: www.buymeacoffee.com/theplanetreigatepodcast or share us with your colleagues.   A list of ‘the best of the guests’, and a link to hear each one, is on this Facebook post: https://tinyurl.com/prpbestListen:           https://linktr.ee/PlanetReigatePodcastWeb:              www.ThePlanetReigatePodcast.comFacebook:      www.Facebook.com/ThePlanetReigatePodcastInsta:              theplanetreigatepodcastX (Twitter):    https://twitter.com/PlanetReigateEmail:            [email protected]   Hosted on Acast.
