Grand Theatre

A Memory of Wolverhampton.

I remember going to the Grand Theatre at Christmas as a child from my Dad's works children's party. Our dads would pay so much a week for their children's Christmas party, and the young ones would have a party at the works canteen and the older ones would be taken to the pantomine at the Grand Theatre. I always remember being fascinated by the opera glasses that were fixed at the back of the seat in front, you had to put an old sixpence in the slot to unlock the glasses that were like binoculars so you could see the performers more closely.
