Queen`s Park Hippodrome Harpurhey.
« on: 19:17:39, 31/10/16 »
We lived on Turkey Lane right next door to the Hippodrome which used to show all of the traditional Christmas Panto`s and a yearly circus. During the year it staged the usual variety performances with the occasional TV star and of course the chorus  girls. Mam used to let our front room to any of the cast that applied (for much needed extra cash) and my younger brothers used to sit at the top of the stairs watching and listening to whoever needed to come out of the room to attend the outside loo. We saw lots of snow white`s dwarfs, tarzan, performing cats; listened to comedians making jokes to mam and dad, and of course the beautiful chorus girls who were always friendly to us, sometimes taking us into the Hippodrome just to mess around with the props. Great memories!
