These photos show pantomime outings to the Globe Theatre for Davy United Roll Foundry and ICI workers and their families.
The Davy Ashmore trips to the theatre were organised by my father-in-law, George Fagan, who also used to organise summer outings. Each child was given a bag of fruit and a drink. They all got ice cream in the interval. I think he knew someone backstage and so got permission for the photos.

The Beatles played there. Lots of screaming.🥰
I too saw Donnie Lonegan at the Globe Theatre that same year.
Head Wrightson used to do this too for families, great stuff!
I remember going to see Cliff Richards and the Shadow in the lat 50s. I was never keen on Cliff but I I still listen to the Shadows.
I remember Lonnie Donegan singing “does your chewing gum lose it’s flavour”. Also Billy J Kramer torturing “Moon River”.
Favourite, I saw in Panto though was Bill Maynard. Made more than half his lines up!
I remember Billy J Kramer appearing at the Odeon and handled a heckler with the one liner “there’s a bus leaving soon, be under it “😁
ICI used to take us back in the day also British Legion, good old days eh….
