Major Site Changes
All the West
End Theatres on the site are now linked to and from Historypin ,
an excellent new website which is officially launched on Thursday
the 3rd of June, but you can see it here and now.
Above - Click image to see my West End
Theatres on Historypin
As part or this process I have also been Cleaning
Up the whole site. New Style of Header
on every page with a Search Bar and
Main Links top right.Right Click is now re-enabled
on all pages, but images are still protected.Image pop up Captions now show
on all browsers, and alt text
is included for the visually impaired.Scroll
Arrows from the site as they are redundant these days.
I do hope you like the new look and find the
enhancements useful and please check out Historypin, it really
is an excellent new website that I'm sure over the coming
years will become very popular with millions of people. I
plan to add many more Theatres to it in the near future.
If you have any comments on the integration
with Historypin, or the new features and changes on the site
please let me
know

A while back I found an old Guestbook which was originally
in a boarding house in Bulwell, Nottingham. The house seems to have
been frequented by almost every artiste who appeared at the Olympia
Bulwell during its brief revival as a live Theatre between 1949 and
1952 and is packed full of personal messages, signatures, photos,
and even sketches -

Most Images on the Site have been Watermarked - I
have resisted this for 10 years but some unscrupulous people still
persist in taking images from the site and using them on their own
sites and blogs without asking. I have made this as unobtrusive as
possible and I do hope it doesn't spoil your enjoyment of the site.
Do let me know what your thoughts are, good or bad.
