I have inherited a 1952 programme for the Lido Theatre at Cliftonville -presenting 'SUNSHINE SMILES' starring Bunny Baron, Sonny Riley, Jack Stanford and Harry Arnold. Would anyone be interested in having it?

Kent memories

My memories are simple and straightforward, to me it was the happiest place on earth.

From the time I saw the noticeboard in Birchington advertising 'What's On' at... [more]

Kent Photographic Memories

Margate is today a bustling seaside resort on the Isle of Thanet, with many miles of sandy beaches, and typical seaside attractions. Once an old fishing village, it was developed in the mid 1700s as the earliest coastal and seabathing resort.
