As a member of the George Formby Society, I know that George played at the hip. Does anyone have any evidence or billboars/programmes so I can show our November convention. If there are any Banjolele lovers out there then contact me.
Still is Lyn, he is a member of this forum

I like the prices, threepence ha'penny for the royal stalls.Hi Folks - yet another shot of the facade, but wait! A poster as well - Larry Grayson well down the bill.
Of 1958 vintage, when no self-respecting lady would be seen at large without her headscarf.
All you lady readers out there (of a certain age) - at what point did wearing a headscarf become obligatory? Was it perhaps a question of status (marital?)?
Regards,
Peg.

I guess that if you didn't know it was there Peg, you would have no idea what it was. This was the first time that I had seen it or part of it in any other pictures of the "HIP". This area was central to our world back then. The Bartons, the Globe, the Bingo and the baked spud cart were all here.Thanks, Dave, I hadn't studied the pic that closely, these were often in the middle of traffic islands, as I recall, together with ladies and gents underground loos.

Yes post 3 does show it. There was a water fountain there too...post 3 also shows the horses trough and i think there should be at least another 1 photo on this thread that also shows it...i remember it well..
