Lloyd Clarance, the Theatre Royal

t13397My Great grandfather Lloyd Clarance was the lessee and manager of The Theatre Royal in Stockton for many years. The photograph shows Lloyd with his Grandson, my father.

His letter headed paper is quite interesting as it has the stage dimensions, admission prices and even a bit about the licence obtained from the magistrate regarding the safety of the theatre.
