GOLDEN OLDIE Â Â 15 #2 Posted October 16, 2018 My father Ernest Morton did the stage makeup for the dancing shows in the 1950s. I believe that they were held at the church, long demolished, that was at the junction of Ellesmere Road, Spital Hill and Burngreave Road.

Wensley1 Â Â 10 #3 Posted October 16, 2018 He must have done the Montgomery then. I was lead from one side of the stage because I was one of the tallest. The teddies were loaned by redgates. Think there were family connection to the dancing school. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Wensley1 Â Â 10 #5 Posted October 17, 2018 It's my hazy memories you must understand. I remember someone by the name of Enid who wore fabulous jewellery. I was told that she was Margaret Arden's sister and that she was married to someone in the redgate family. But of course that was over 60 years ago. I could of course be wrong. Have no one alive to back it up. I was at the school four about 3years. My auntie lived nearby on gower Street. I have a photo of me in my tap outfit taken at Fred knaggs which would have been near to your property I think. Â I may be able to help you more. Can we exchange views not so publicly. Think we may have a connection in another direction . any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
