Laurel and Hardy in Birmingham (1954)

Barr_Beacon

The Prodigal Brummie
The photograph shows Laurel and Hardy standing outside the Aston Hippodrome and the Barton's Arm's can clearly be seen behind them (notice the pub sign!). In fact Stan and Ollie stayed at the Barton's during their performances in Birmingham.
Anyone got any photographs or information about their ime in Birmingham?

I've still got their autographs (with sticker on the page) from when they appeared at the Birmingham Hippodrome in 1954.
Wonder what it's worth now?
