look.
By the way - that chain on the
left really is made of ice. It
was among the
sculptures at the Ice Hotel, Jukkasjarvi, Sweden, in winter
2002/3. Home
History
For a history of the music hall theatre and
information
specifically about London please see this fascinating site.
It's
about performer Arthur Lloyd but there's lots of interesting stuff on
the site about his life and times.
Want to know about the Victorian Cinema? Yes - there really was
one! Here's
a wonderful site for your perusal. Much more detail than the Anorak
could hope to include on the topic.
The
National Trust.
Protector of historic sites and landscape throughout England and Wales.
This image has been lifted from the site it links to. (and I apologise
now but I hope the owner won't mind, since I'm linking to it)
It's a great site with some fascinating stuff about pubs of the Midlands
and
there's history and pictures of architecture and it's so much like the
Anorak except for the fact that it's pub based (and so's the Anorak -
given the opportunity!) that it simply had to be included. And
obviously a canal history anorak couldn't resist this sign!
