Fortunately some far sighted & Philanthropic local notables formed a TRUST & somehow raised the money needed to buy it for the town (actually CITY by then).
This listed building was refurbished to an extremely high standard in the original Terra Cotta & Turquoise style.
THe "gods", upper, upper balcony, not for the faint hearted was restored. Most importantlyu a theatre director , excellent chap, very well connected was appointed & within a few years , and up until now, the the renamed MAYFLOWER, is extremely successful.
Last year nurse GIllian & I booked there for JERSEY BOYS, JOSEPH, MAMMA MIA et al
Happy Days .
I loved the final scene when all the nuns went berserk with large candles and I mean LARGE candles!! - talk about eye watering - good job the candles weren't alight

Ah, that'll be the fork handles sketch then, one of the classics.Everyone’s on about this black Friday thing
So I took out my card and gave it a fling
Spent 500 skadoo’s in the space of an hour
Boy was the look on the wife's face sour
She stood there open mouthed and daunted
I even bought a laptop that I never wanted
Most of the stuff was going fairly cheap
She had to physically stop me from buying a jeep
Only 600 from a chap called Clive
She said I’m an eejit, I can’t even drive.
I can see now how one gets carried away
Until they realise what they've spent the following day.
I’m going to complain to the race commission next year if they don't have a White Saturday to balance it out.

Does you brain ever get clogged up when too much information is coming at it all at once? There's the wife and three of her sisters here having a "coffee" morning (coffee how are yeh, red coffee in a glass) and they were all talking to me at the same time, sheer hell, I had to nip out to the shed pretending to finish a job, that's where I am now.Maybe it's just me but every now and then I have to clear out the old head and make room for new stuff, and God knows there’s plenty of that coming at you everyday, what do they call it in computer lingo when you want to clean up a disc, defragging I think it is, terrible word that, sounds like something indecent. well I suppose you could say I have defragged myself now, just like you have to brick a camel after so many miles, Gumbud knows all about them camels, he certainly knows how to brick ‘em, explained it all in a post here once.
I rope ‘em and brand ‘em
Brick them at random
Singing my camel song
Yodel eh dee hee, dee dee hee dee dee! And off he rides into the Sunset.
