One of the six heroes, a 1980s record shop: a black fascia with white lettering, records and posters in the window, coloured panels on the pilasters and a giant record on a bracket. It replaced Spin City Records in rev P. Behind it is the record shop and studio for music and art.

The room behind it has its own page under behind the fronts: Our Price · the record shop, 1980s record shop.

01 · Our Price's record shop
The Regal at dusk, close up. A cream Art Deco front with fluted fins and a black plinth, a tall red REGAL blade sign, a black marquee reading NOW SHOWING under a row of chaser bulbs, a round glass ticket booth in the lobby and lit poster cases. Blockbuster's blue sign and the red phone box are at the left edge, and Our Price's black fascia with records in the window is on the right. Wet paving, a slim black lamp post and the limestone grid of the upper floor above.
02 · The Regal at dusk
The west side straight on from above the courtyard on a summer evening. Left to right: The Regal's blade sign on the corner, Our Price with a giant record on a bracket, Lowther Gallery with paintings on easels, Abbott & Sons Barbers with a barber's pole, the narrow Market Row Baths with a teal-lit stair going down, and Marlowe & Pike Booksellers lined with books. In front, the sunken lightwell planted with flowers behind its glass balustrade, and the water bowl, which has sprouted a fountain jet that is not in the design.
