He's Behind You!

The pantomine season is nearly over, so I thought I would share with you a programme from the 1899 - 1900 season, when 'Aladdin' was on at the Grand Theatre and Opera House, Hull.

The programme is not complete, and scanned from the photocopies I took of it when the Local Studies Library was still located in Hull Central Library and was bit of a squash! Oh, happy days!

Three Kings for Epiphany

King Henry VII

King Henry VIII

King Edward VI

I hope this isn't cheating, but I personally don't own pictures of the Tudor Kings. Henry VII fought for the crown, and won it off Richard III. Henry VIII, his son, took the crown in 1509, until his death in 1547. Edward, Henry's only surviving son by Jane Seymour took the crown at only nine years old. He died at fifteen, leaving the crown uncertain and fought over.

If you haven't taken your Christmas decorations down, you have twelve hours to do so!

After the excess's of Christmas and New Year, I am posting some photo's of Withernsea Beach, taken on the 27th December, 2011, which I hope will bring some tranquillity for a few moments. 

New Year Greetings

Wishing you all a Happy and Prosperous New Year!
