Bingley Hall

An interesting couple of models built in Bingley Hall. Wonder what they did with them afterwards. Its nice to be able to say the full size buildings still exist. Viv.

Used to go to Bingley hall to the Motor Shows before they went to the NEC . In those days you could sit in the cars and used to come out with a load of brochures for all the different cars. Does anyone remember the Joke stall the man selling the bird sound reed like thing which you put in your mouth and made sounds like a bird. Well he did when i tried to do it i nearly passed out.

When I was around 13 my class at school was entered into some competition or other and we won a prize which was a trip to see the Circus at Bingley Hall. During the performance a small group of us went to use the toilets and shortly afterwards a clown in full garb entered. “Alright, lads?” he asked, and proceeded to pull down the giant hoop that formed the waist of his trousers and relieved himself over the top of them. It was without doubt the funniest thing I saw him do that afternoon.
