I am surprised no one seems to remember any Jewish connection with Regency Square, as was proved when a Star of David was recently discovered on a pillar at the Prince Regent Hotel in the square.
I remember in the early 1960s, three Kosher hotels on the west side of Regency Square. I worked in one of them for three or four years and the experience gave me a lifelong liking and admiration for the Jewish people.
Preston Street had a Kosher delicatessen, butcher and restaurant. There was another small hotel in Sillwood Street and, of course, the Kings Hotel on the seafront.
There must have been others. Possibly 29 Regency Square was one of them.
