LOOKING BACK
The Regal Cinema was opened in 1932. With over 1000 seats and charming Art Deco design this theatre was a place to see and be seen. It changed hands a few times but retained its Art Deco charm until its closure in 1974. Since then the building housed a Bingo Club, Supermarket, Snooker Club, etc but in January 2015 plans were proposed to make this a part of the Lichfield Centre again and build apartments retaining the facade. Planning permission was given for apartments and retail units on the site and demolition began on 26th July 2018 taking this 30s icon into the 21st century. The first steps to becoming your new home. 
ONE VISION
The Lichfield Company was formed to convert the old movie theatre in Lichfield. Between Somerton Jones and Lodge Park Homes we are taking pride in converting this historic building into beautiful new apartments.
Lodge Park Limited was formed in 1998 by a small but very experienced team of house building professionals. We have now more than 40 passionate and dedicated team members. Regardless of size we have maintained our strategy of being a Family Builder. Creating homes and communities that their new owners can be as proud of as we are when we design, build and finally hand over the keys.
Over the years, as we moved, so did our portfolio. We have now built in excess of over 1000 homes from Leicestershire to Hertfordshire and from Oxfordshire to Cambridgeshire.
We are continuing to buy land and build within an ever growing area doing what we do best, creating new homes our customers can be proud of.
Somerton Jones Developments was formed by founder and sole director Warren Jones. Warren has been in the construction industry since 2001; he holds a degree in Civil Engineering and has acted in a number of construction related roles before forming his own company in January 2016.
Somerton Jones completed the first development in November 2017 converting a previous office building into 35 apartments in Nuneaton and has since acquired and commenced works on various other developments. The sites range from 9 luxury new homes in Little Kineton near Stratford upon Avon to developing an old picture house in Lichfield City Centre into 38 apartments.
High specification and exceptional quality is at the forefront of all of Somerton Jones’ homes from studio apartments to 5 bedroom houses.
