Gorleston Pavilion Theatre

Amongst a family photo album entitled “Gorleston-on-Sea August 1928” there is the  following postcard image:-

The assumption is that this was from a show at the Gorleston Pavilion Theatre . In the album the rear of the postcard is not readable because the card is stuck in the  album. However traces of the postmark are clear on the front.  The postcard was produced by   Walter Gardiner Photographer  of Worthing.

Stanley’s holiday pages

Page containing family holidays mainly from the 1920s and 1930s. Very much work in progress so far.  Plan was to create a time-line for the post.  Some  progress was made but never completed.  So, for now (July 2019), there is just a simple list with the destinations and dates as I come across them from the albums:

  • ???? Wales (album 17) includes images of Elan valley (dams), Conwy suspension bridge, Penrhyn Castle Grand Lodge Gate. But images of HS 9 along way from home.
  • 1907 September – Bridlington (album 05)
  • 1922 May – Bournemouth (albums 01 and 13)
  • 1923 August – Bognor Regis (album 06)
  • 1925 June – Falmouth (12th June), Bedruthan and St Ives (10th), Boscastle (9th), Minehead, Lymouth and Cheddar Gorge (7th) Devizes (6th)  and Tintagel and Watersmeet (June) (album 19)
  • 1925 July – Looe and Plymouth (album 19) and tennis shots labelled OTC (album 17)
  • 1927?? – Isle of Wight (album 10) – based on appearance of Jean and Basil
  • 1928 August – Gorleston-on-Sea (albums 30 and 31)
  • 1938 August – Bacton-on-Sea (album 21)
