This
is a picture of Louie Dickinson (née
Spencer) from whom we
have received these early photographs.
We would like to express our
sincere thanks to her family for passing them on to us following
Louie's death in 2006.
She is seen here in a 1930 production of 'Jack and the Beanstalk'.

These Pantomimes were prepared
and
performed by members of the Bramley St. Peter's Church
Sunday. Performances took place during January on the stage of Bramley
National School in Hough Lane. This was destroyed in a fire in the
1950s and has been replaced by houses. When a stage had been built in
the Church Institute, productions moved there. This building used to be
situated in Waterloo Lane on the site of the present Community Centre.
It was also burnt down in a fire in the 1950s.
