Camberwell Junction
Camberwell is ideally positioned just 10 km east of Melbourne’s CBD. One well- known feature of Camberwell is the Burke Road shopping strip, which stretches north, about 600 m from Camberwell Junction. Three tram routes converge, train lines abound and bus routes cover the area. There is also the historic Rivoli Cinemas sit just west of Camberwell Junction, in the adjacent suburb of Hawthorn East.
Interestingly, Camberwell received its name because it reminded an early settler of the way three roads intersected in the south London district of Camberwell. This intersection is now known as Camberwell Junction. Then came the expansion of Melbourne’s suburban rail network in the 1880s that helped Camberwell develop further.
The Regal Theatre
Just down the road from Hartwell Dentistry at the intersection of Camberwell and Toorak Roads, once stood the Regal Cinema. It was built in 1937 on the site that was once occupied by the Tyrone Hotel.
The Regal Cinema featured Art Deco styling and included a roof top garden. The building resembled a large train about to leave the station for its next destination. (Photo courtesy of Camberwell Historical Society)
The Regal was pulled down in 1965, sadly only 27 years after it was erected. The site at the corner of Camberwell and Toorak Road has been home to many businesses since then, however none with quiet as much character as the Regal Cinema.
