Reading a review of Let’s Make an Opera from the Newcastle Morning Herald and Miners Advocate 1952 provides a great insight into the performance. The cast consisted of five adults and hundreds of school children which was something of a challenge for the conductor Eric Starling who, ‘sometimes had to act as school teacher as well as conductor to enlist full co-operation from them’.
The play consisted of two parts, the preparation of the opera and its dress rehearsal followed by the actual opera. Audience involvement in the performance was also expected. ‘Owls, herons, turtle-doves and chaffinches will carol together when Newcastle audiences take their part in ‘Let’s Make an Opera”.

The Marine Species Population Index provides an assessment of the average changeover time in the populations of 217 species of marine mammals, birds, reptiles, and fish. The index represents the average value of six regional ocean indices. More pronounced declines are seen in the southern oceans, attributed to the fact that major losses and degradation of marine ecosystems in the industrialized world took place prior to 1970. Marine species are generally more difficult to monitor than terrestrial ones. Assessments are therefore based primarily on fishery catches, and the monitoring of land breeding species (e.g. turtles, birds and seals). However, these species are over-represented in the index, which should have a far greater proportion of invertebrate species.

We can probably thank the late Gerry Fiennes for the purchase of the Deltics, or as he put it "the policy of building diesels of around 2000hp lies in ruins around us, nothing less than well over 3000hp under the bonnet will do". Certainly the various Type 4 designs were not really any great advance in on-rail performance over a Pacific in reasonable shape, at the time the Deltic was the only locomotive which could advance on this, a machine that could reach and maintain 100mph (and more in reality) where the rest could only struggle to 90mph or less. We will certainly never see anything like them again.
Page from the theatre programme for a production of "Rose Marie" at the Hippodrome Theatre, Keighley, staged by Keighley Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society in February 1936. This page includes an advert for the Town Hall Garage of F. & J. Moore on Alice Street.
Keighley Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society's production of "Rose Marie" played at the Hippodrome Theatre in Keighley for six nights from Monday 10th February 1936. The romantic musical had music by Rudolf Friml and Herbert Stothart, with book and lyrics by Otto Harbach and Oscar Hammerstein. The KAODS production was produced and directed by Herbert Coates, with musical director Joseph Harker.
The story starts out in the Canadian Rockies at a hotel where Rose Marie La Flamme (played by Rhoda Heap) and pioneer Jim Kenyon (Arthur Day) have fallen in love, much to the disapproval of Rose Marie's brother, Emile (Oswald Hill). The hotel is run by Lady Jane (Margaret Best) who is torn between two suitors. Native Canadian Wanda (Noreen Spencer) murders her husband, Black Eagle (W. Bruce Johnston), but blames Jim who flees to prove his innocence. Rose Marie reluctantly gives Jim up and consents to marry Edward Hawley (Ernest Marsden) in Quebec, when Wanda admits her crime and Rose Marie and Jim are reunited. Probably the most famous song from the musical is the 'Indian Love Call'.
The show also starred Jack Catterson, Frank Goodwin, Peggy Eaton, Albert Shepherd and Winifred Hibberd. The Director of Dancing was Miss Doris H. Adams.
The 44-page programme was printed by The Keighley Printers Ltd. of High Street, Keighley. It measures approximately 184mm by 249mm. Two copies of the programme were part of an anonymous donation received by the History Society in 2022. The second copy is autographed by the cast and crew.

The Bedford Music Hall
The Bedford Music Hall
The Bedford Music Hall
By Barton Young
Gone that London a lad could hang
off a horse-dragged tram
that swam past public houses raucous warm with gin and brag
where piannas barrelled the songs they sang
in the stalls of the Bedford,
best music ‘all this side of the water.
Sink into a sixpence seat. The orchestra’s tuning up.
Fam’lies unwrap jam sarnies in the cheap seats.
First the bottom-billers: bar-benders, mind-readers, Wally White
‘s Wonder Dog. Backstage a comic lights a gasper off a lamp, eyes
The Charming Sisters Kelly in their candle-coloured
costumes, a tightrope walker doing pliés.
The vent chucks down a whiskey, tells the dummy for the nerves.
Out front a tenor coaxes a popular air;
a wit provides ‘song of my own composing,’
an English rose trills the young men to the trenches
singing all the boys in khaki get the nice girls.
Then a flintvoiced queenie chips the edges off a tune
she knows you know the chorus to.
They’ll all be in the wings at the bill’s top:
Up in the dressing room the full house roars
like an eager sea beneath her; the biggest of her day
sees her face in the mirror, will descend
to distil the Cockney crowd
into pure memory.
For a while in the thirties the hook came for the lot of 'em
and a silver screen shone above
the boards they’d trod by gaslight.
Hollywood shadow in the back row the belters
had flung their high notes at.
Then it was a theatre again.
Shabby Shakespeare stared up at
from tatty crimson plush.
Forgotten revues. Empty seats. Then rats and tramps.
My father saw it pulled down.
Stood across the street with long hair and no job
he saw this comatose building
chucked into the gutter face first.
A wrecking ball raised the roof off the place
and modern day gawped inside,
casting its grey spotlight
on the gods and all below, where
from the bellies of ghosts
the stage-led singsong and honest laughter
that glowed in the derelict dark
those years the Bedford slept off the past
(like aging turns in digs on iron beds)
died in the daylight of Camden High Street, 1969,
and all that England gone
before I ever got to see it.

The Blancpain Race Series held on the Silverstone Arena Grand Prix circuit on Sunday 2nd June
The early Sunday morning start for the Blancpain Endurance series qualifying session was greeted by blue skies, bright sunshine but chilly temperatures which are nearly always present as Silverstone seems to have its own weather system, not connected to the rest of the country. At least no rain is forecast.
Once into the venue, there didn't seem to be any race programmes on sale. This is going to make following the track action particularly difficult in a multi-driver endurance race. There were very few grandstands open and a very sparse crowd in attendance. All this this is a bit of a shame for such a prestigious Europeon series with a top quality line up.
The qualifying session was split into three 15-minute sessions, with the single best time in any session counting for pole. The massive field is split into three groups, the PRO category, the PRO-AM category and the Gentleman Drivers category.
Altogether there were 58-GT3 supercars entered for the event, made up of a mixture of exotic examples of various supercar GT models including the Aston Martin Vantage, Audi R8 LMS Ultra, Nissan GT-R, BMW Z4, Ferrari 458 Italia, McLaren MP4-12C, Lamborghini LP560-4, Mercedes SLS AMG and the ever present Porsche 997.
A number of familiar names had entered from the world on sportcar racing and a number of the cars had been seen in various other events this season already, from the British GT, WEC and the main GT series.
The performance balancing of the GT3 format always produces close, exciting racings. This along with the huge field of experienced drivers should make for an excellent three-hour race later this afternoon.
After the spectacular GT supercars, the next cars out on track were the very underwhelming return of Renault 2.0 to the UK. This series was the North European championship. I always used to enjoy the Renault UK 2.0 championship when it was part of the TOCA British Touring Car package. The single seaters broke up the procession of tin top cars during the day and the racing was always full on and viewed as a stepping stone up to Formula 3. Unfortunately putting this junior formula on directly after the big booming GT cars on the full Grand Prix circuit made them look very junior indeed and they did take an awful long time to come round on each lap.
Next up were the Lamborghini Super Trofeo series for the Gentleman Drivers (very rich men) consisting of a glorious field of identical race prepared Gallardo LP570-4s. As a special one off, Adrian Newey was in the no1 VIP car but....unfortunately he span and crashed into a concrete barrier on the formation lap whilst warming his tyres a bit too enthusiastically. His car was far too damaged to be included in the start.
Shortly into the start of the race, one of the cars crashed very heavily on the Wellington Straight, the car had speared off to the right of the track and through the bottom two sections of the Armco barrier. This left parts of Lamborghini liberally spread across the track which resulted in a safety car period. This then developed into a full race stoppage whilst a temporary concrete barrier was brought into place to seal up the gap in the barrier. After a lengthily delay, which turned into the lunch break, the truncated race continued with Andrea Amici eventually taking the victory.
Whereas next should have been the lunchbreak and a chance to wander around the pit and paddock area in the warm sunshine, out of the continuous chilly breeze. Due to the long stoppage during the Lamborghini event, the second of the weekend's Auto GP races start almost immeadiately. I believe that the Auto GP cars have developed from the old Italian F3000 series. The current cars, powered by V8 3.4 litre engines producing 550 bhp, are certainly very fast and loud. The mandatory pitstop adds drama to what could be a fairly mundane processional affair.
The series has attracted a few big names, Narain Karthikeyan, the Indian ex-Formula One driver who had already won the first race of the weekend and Briton's Luciano Bacheta the 2012 champion of the now defunct Formula Two series was also on the grid with a number of other F2 refugees.
The 13-lap race was won by Kimiya Sato, who had started in third and made his way to the front. The Auto GP cars were able to lap the full GP circuit in an impressive 1:47, which made them by far the quickest cars here this weekend.
The main event of the weekend, the Blancpain Endurance Series three-hour race, was due off at 2:45pm. It took best part of half an hour for the huge field of 57 starters to form up on the grid. The double line of supercars extended back all the way passed Woodcote.
Once the grid was finally cleared of the hundreds of people who had amassed around the cars, they were off in a blaze of noise on their green flag lap behind the pace car. Three minutes elapsed before they came back into sight at the end of the Wellington Straight. Forming back up into a neat two by two format as they trundled around the last couple of corners. Dropping back from the pace car as he ducked into the pits, the two front row cars, the Aston Martin and the Nissan GT-R, waited and waited and then go go go. What a sight, as a continuous wave of the best GT cars in Europe, hit the gas and accelerated down the National Straight and around Copse Corner. A testament to the quality of the field, is that this huge field could all safety negotiate the first corner without incident.
For most, the race would be split up into three parts. Each of the cars could go at least 60-minutes on one tank of fuel. Darren Turner took the first stint in the no 97 Aston Martin Vantage and spent the first few laps jinking it out with the Nissan GT-R.
As the race settled down, the Aston Martin looked the strongest entry, closely followed by a gaggle of Audi R8s. After 3-hours 1-minutes 36. (very appropriately) 007- seconds the final result was
1st - 97 - Aston Martin Vantage driven by Turner/Makowiecki/Mucke
2nd - 1 - Audi R8 LMS driven by Ortelli/Vanthoor/Rast
3rd - 13 - Audi R8 LMS driven by Strippler/Sandstrom/Mies
One strange point from the day was the disappearance of the grandstand behind the banked terrace area at the Luffield complex. I'm sure there was one there last time I was here. Maybe the F1 Grand Prix tickets aren't selling as well this year.
The unusual design of the west gable was conceived purely as a display for sculpture as the culmination of the 13th century facade. However the programme of sculpture originally remained unfinished for two centuries until the row of apostles and smaller angel figures beneath were installed in the 15th century. Sadly the carving and quality of the stone was of inferior quality to the 13th century work and the figures have weathered badly as a result. The topmost three niches were likely originally filled in the 13th century but only the lower half of the central Christ figure survived and was copied when new sculptures by David Wynne were created in 1985.
Wells Cathedral is a magical place to me, having cast a spell over me from the very first time I laid eyes on it as a seven-year old when it started to be a regular break on our journeys south west for childhood holidays. Although it wasn't the first cathedral I'd encountered it was the first I'd seen after developing a more conscious interest in church art and architecture and it seemed to me like something from another world (which in many ways it is). I never forgot the impression it made, its beauties inside and out, and having not visited for nearly three decades I decided getting reacquainted was long overdue.
Described as England's 'Queen amongst cathedrals' it is not as huge as some but it is as beautiful as any, and its setting within the enclosure of a charming cathedral close that constitutes a large part of this modestly-sized but picturesque cathedral-city just adds to its qualities. Its three towers beckon the visitor through the turreted gates that connect the close to the market place and to walk through these and behold the west facade for the first time is an unforgettable experience. The central tower is a beautiful example of Somerset's pinnacled late Gothic masterpieces, and yet it almost disappears, practically forgotten, when one encounters the rich display between the two western towers with their curiously flat parapets. These towers are also mainly 15th century work, but below them, and built two centuries earlier, the facade unfolds like a huge screen covered with niches, most of which remarkably retain their original statues, the largest display of medieval sculpture surviving in England.
Currently visitors are directed to enter via the cloisters on the south side rather than through the surprisingly small, almost apologetic doorways burrowed through the base of this astonishing facade, so it is important to spend some time absorbing it before entering the building. Once inside the effect is rather calmer than the riot of ornamentation on the west front, and the scale a little more intimate and inviting than many cathedral interiors. Most of it is early 13th century and harmonious in style, but it is a later addition that draws the eye looking down the nave, the unique 'scissor arches' installed to brace the crossing in order to stabilise the central tower following signs of movement. The transepts beyond are of the same date and design as the nave, whilst further east the more ornate choir is a little later, being completed in the early 14th century. Beyond this the retrochoir and polygonal Lady Chapel with their delicate pillars and vaults form one of the most delightful and visually satisfying of English medieval interiors.
Furnishings and features of interest are plentiful as one explores the church admiring the beauty of its architecture, with much medieval glass surviving at the east end, the east window and the adjoining clerestories having survived almost intact (more survives in the choir aisles and lady chapel though aside from the traceries most is in a fragmentary state). Many medieval bishops effigies are to be seen (many forming a posthumous 13th century commemoration of earlier Saxon bishops) along with three chantry chapels. In the north transept is the famous medieval astronomical clock with its painted dials and jousting knights marking the quarter hours.
One of the most exquisite features is the chapter house also on the north side, approached via a delightfully timeworn staircase and covered by a particularly attractive vaulted ceiling. It is one of the highlights of the building and shouldn't be missed. The cloisters on the south side are also a delight to wander through and were one of the last major additions to the cathedral.
Wells Cathedral is without a doubt one of the country's greatest treasures and in my mind one of the most beautiful churches anywhere and even its surroundings are a joy to explore. Happily it now at last appears to be reopening after the long hiatus of lockdown, it deserves to be visited and enjoyed again by all once the present crisis is over.

THE NATIONAL COMMEMORATION OF THE CENTENARY OF THE GALLIPOLI CAMPAIGN AND ANZAC DAY AT THE CENOTAPH, WHITEHALL, LONDON
HOSTED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE HIGH COMMISSIONS OF AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND IN LONDON
On 25 April 1915 Allied soldiers landed on the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey in one of the most ambitious amphibious assaults in history.
More than 550,000 soldiers from Britain, Ireland, France, Australia, New Zealand, the Indian sub-continent, Canada and Sri Lanka waged this historic campaign, including 400,000 from Britain alone. 58,000 Allied servicemen and 87,000 from Turkey died in this campaign.
ANZAC Day was established by Australia and New Zealand as an annual day of commemoration to remember their servicemen who died in Gallipoli. The first ANZAC Day march in London took place on 25 April 1916. ANZAC Day has been commemorated in London on 25 April every year since then.

THE PRAYERS
Prayer by The Venerable Ian Wheatley QHC, Royal Navy Chaplain of the Fleet
God our Father, we come together today to honour all those who gave themselves with great courage in service and sacrifice for their country in the Gallipoli Campaign. We pray that their example may continue to inspire us to strive for the common good, that we may build up the harmony and freedom for which they fought and died.
Help us O Lord, to lift our eyes above the torment of this broken world, and strengthen our resolve to work for peace and justice, and for the relief of want and suffering. As we honour the past, may we put our faith in your future; for you are the source of life and hope, now and forever. Amen.
Hymn led by the Choirs of Chelmsford Cathedral and accompanied by the Massed Bands
I Vow To Thee My Country
All:
I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love;
The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.
I heard my country calling, away across the sea,
Across the waste of waters, she calls and calls to me.
Her sword is girded at her side, her helmet on her head,
And around her feet are lying the dying and the dead;
I hear the noise of battle, the thunder of her guns;
I haste to thee, my mother, a son among thy sons.
And there’s another country, I’ve heard of long ago,
Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace.
Prayer read by Grace van Gageldonk (14 years old) from Australia
God of compassion and mercy, we remember with thanksgiving and sorrow, those whose lives in world wars and conflicts past and present, have been
given and taken away.
Enfold in your love, all who in bereavement, disability and pain, continue to suffer the consequences of fighting and terror; and guide and protect all those who support and sustain them. Amen.
National anthem Advance Australia Fair
Led by the Choirs of Chelmsford Cathedral and accompanied by the Massed Bands
Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil,
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in nature’s gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history’s page, let every stage
Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
‘Advance Australia Fair’.
Prayer read by Kathryn Cooper (11 years old) from New Zealand
God of hope, the source of peace and the refuge of all in distress, we remember those you have gathered from the storm of war into the everlasting peace of your presence; may that same peace calm our fears, bring reconciliation and justice to all peoples, and establish lasting harmony among the nations.
We pray for all members of the armed forces who strive for peace and fight for justice today; bless and keep their families and friends at home awaiting their return. Help us, who today remember the cost of war, to work for a better tomorrow, and bring us all, in the end, to the peace of your presence; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Reading Atatürk’s message to bereaved pilgrims, 1934, read by Ecenur Bilgiç (14 years old) from Turkey
Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives…
You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace.
There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours…
You, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace, after having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.
National anthem İstiklal Marşı (The Independence March)
Led by Burak Gülşen from Turkey, accompanied by the Massed Bands
Korkma, sönmez bu şafaklarda yüzen al sancak;
Sönmeden yurdumun üstünde tüten en son ocak.
O benim milletimin yıldızıdır, parlayacak;
O benimdir, o benim milletimindir ancak.
Çatma, kurban olayım, çehreni ey nazlı hilal!
Kahraman ırkıma bir gül! Ne bu şiddet, bu celal?
Sana olmaz dökülen kanlarımız sonra helal…
Hakkıdır, Hakk’a tapan, milletimin istiklal!
Fear not! For the crimson flag that flies at this dawn, shall not fade,
As long as the last fiery hearth that is ablaze in my country endures.
For that is the star of my nation, which will forever shine;
It is mine; and solely that of my valiant nation.
Frown not, I beseech you, oh thou coy crescent!
Come smile upon my heroic race! Why this rage, this fury?
The blood we shed for you shall not be blessed otherwise;
For independence is the absolute right of my God-worshipping nation.

Reading by James McDermott (17 years old) from the United Kingdom
The Attack at Dawn (May, 1915) by Leon Maxwell Gellert (1892–1977)
‘At every cost,’ they said, ‘it must be done.’
They told us in the early afternoon.
We sit and wait the coming of the sun
We sit in groups, — grey groups that watch the moon.
We stretch our legs and murmur half in sleep
And touch the tips of bayonets and yarn.
Our hands are cold. They strangely grope and creep,
Tugging at ends of straps. We wait the dawn!
Some men come stumbling past in single file.
And scrape the trench’s side and scatter sand.
They trip and curse and go. Perhaps we smile.
We wait the dawn! … The dawn is close at hand!
A gentle rustling runs along the line.
‘At every cost,’ they said, ‘it must be done.’
A hundred eyes are staring for the sign.
It’s coming! Look! … Our God’s own laughing sun!
Closing prayers by The Venerable Ian Wheatley QHC, Royal Navy Chaplain of the Fleet
Eternal God,
from whom all thoughts of truth and peace proceed;
Kindle, we pray, in the hearts of all, the true love of peace
and guide with your pure and peaceable wisdom
those who take counsel for the nations of the world,
that in tranquillity your kingdom may go forward,
and all people may spend their days in security, freedom and peace;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Merciful God
we offer to you the fears in us
that have not yet been cast out by love:
may we accept the hope you have
placed in the hearts of all people,
and live lives of justice, courage and mercy;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Lord’s Prayer
All:
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come, thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give is this day our daily bread.
And forgive is our trespasses,
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those that trespass against us.
And lead is not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
fro ver and ever. Amen.
The Blessing
God grant to the living grace, to the departed rest,
to the Church, the Queen, the Commonwealth and all people,
unity, peace and concord,
and to us and all God’s servants, life everlasting;
and the blessing of God almighty,
the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit,
be among you and remain with you always. Amen.

By bringing water to people water resellers extend the coverage of piped water and provide a service with important benefits for households - but at a price. That price rises with distance from the utility, as defined by the number of intermediaries between the network and the end consumer. Having a regular supply of clean water piped into the household is the optimal type of provision for human development. Experience suggests that households with water delivered through one tap on a plot (or within 100 metres) typically use about 50 litres of water a day, rising to 100 litres or more for households with multiple taps. Household connections to a utility offer financial benefits. In unit price terms, utility water is by far the lowest cost option. Because of economies of scale once the network is in place, the marginal cost of delivering each additional unit of water falls sharply. Subsidies are another important price-reducing mechanism: utilities are usually the gatekeeper for a wide range of direct and indirect subsidies that keep the price of water well below cost. Every step removed from the household tap adds to the price. Water vendors often act as a link between unconnected households and the utility. In some cases water is purchased from the utility and sold on to households, as in the case of private standpipe operators. In other cases water is purchased from the utility and sold to intermediaries, who in turn sell to households. As water passes through the marketing chain, prices increase. Water delivered through vendors and carters is often 10–20 times more costly than water provided through a utility. In Barranquilla, Colombia, the average price of water is $0.55 per m 3 from the utility and $5.50 per m 3 from truckers. Similarly, in the slums of Accra and Nairobi people buying water from vendors typically spend eight times as much per litre as households with piped water supplied by utilities.

“Pink Champagne” was performed by the students of the Maitland Music Class. Prior to the 1955 flood a room above the Library had been allocated for evening classes equipped with the latest mod cons such as a “high fidelity radiogram, records, chairs, a coffee perculator and like essentials for a chatty and educational evening”.
Evening college classes were introduced by the Department of Education in 1945 and provided adults with an opportunity to gain a free education in “subjects which will occupy its ever-increasing leisure hours”.
“Pink Champagne” is an adaptation of Die Fledermaus by Johann Strauss from the Vienna production of 1874.

A page from the programme for 'The Yeomen of the Guard'. The page includes an advert for J. R. Hammond (confectioner, caterer and wedding cake maker) of North Street, Keighley.
The Keighley Amateur Lyric and Dramatic Society staged a production of W. S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan's 'The Yeomen of the Guard (or The Merryman and his Maid)' at the Hippodrome theatre in Keighley from 18th to 23rd October 1909.
The story is set in the sixteenth century and revolves around Colonel Fairfax, a condemned prisoner in the Tower of London, and his attempts to secure a wife before his execution for sorcery. He manages to escape the Tower disguised as a Yeoman and much confusion ensues before all is righted by the end.
It starred Arthur Greenwood as Colonel Fairfax, with E. G. Moulding, James Pearson, Willie Boyes, J. R. Hammond, H. Connelly, John Merrall, C. A. Greenwood, J. Greenwood, B. Hardacre, H. V. Wilkinson, Miranda Sugden, Ethel Bird, Miss Lambert and Mrs Heaton. The musical director was W. S. Wilkinson and the stage manager was W. G. Bedford. Scenery was hired from the Northern Theatres Co. Ltd. and was specially painted by F. G. Venimore.
The Keighley Amateur Lyric and Dramatic Society had only formed a year previous (in 1908) and the theatre had only been renamed the Hippodrome earlier that year (in 1909). Prior to that it was known as the Queen’s Theatre, although both names remained on the front of the building, and many programmes and adverts continued to refer to the ‘Hippodrome and Queen’s Theatre’.
In 1876, Abraham Kershaw, a piano player and tuner from Huddersfield, had bought 700 square yards of land in Queen Street. On it he had built a five-storey wooden theatre, designed by architect J. B. Bailey, that opened at Easter 1880. The theatre was not a financial success and the wooden theatre was pulled down. A new improved theatre, called the Queen’s Theatre was built instead and opened on 26th August 1889. But even this new theatre was deemed inadequate, and in its place was built the new Queen’s Theatre. This was designed by theatre architect Frank Matcham (1854-1920). It covered 7,000 square feet with a frontage of 86 feet to Queen Street and 48 feet to Adelaide Street. There was an iron veranda fitted with coloured glass that ran the whole length of the front. It could seat almost 2,000 people, the stage was 65 feet wide by 45 feet deep, and it boasted that every person in the house had an uninterrupted view of the whole stage. There were six private boxes, bars on all five floors, and ten dressing rooms. The new theatre opened on the 3rd February 1900.
Impresario Francis Laidler (1867-1955) took over the theatre in 1913 – he also ran the Prince’s Theatre and Alhambra Theatre in Bradford, and the Theatre Royal in Leeds. He was managing director up until his death when his widow, Gwladys, took over until the theatre closed in October 1956.
The theatre was demolished in 1961 and in its place now stands the Airedale Shopping Centre multi-storey car park. Keighley Local Studies Library holds various records relating to the theatre including a scrapbook belonging to Abraham Kershaw, a box office notebook, a theatrical postcard album covering 1906 to 1929, autograph books and various photographs, programmes, and posters.
This souvenir programme was a collaboration between photographer H. Charlton of Lawkholme Crescent, and the printers Wadsworth & Co. of The Rydal Press, Russell Street. It measures approximately 255mm by 190mm and is 36 pages long. The programme was donated to the Keighley and District Local History Society by Tim Neal in 2022. A second copy was received by the History Society from an anonymous donor later in 2022. Both copies are held in the History Society's physical archive.

THE NATIONAL COMMEMORATION OF THE CENTENARY OF THE GALLIPOLI CAMPAIGN AND ANZAC DAY AT THE CENOTAPH, WHITEHALL, LONDON
HOSTED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE HIGH COMMISSIONS OF AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND IN LONDON
On 25 April 1915 Allied soldiers landed on the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey in one of the most ambitious amphibious assaults in history.
More than 550,000 soldiers from Britain, Ireland, France, Australia, New Zealand, the Indian sub-continent, Canada and Sri Lanka waged this historic campaign, including 400,000 from Britain alone. 58,000 Allied servicemen and 87,000 from Turkey died in this campaign.
ANZAC Day was established by Australia and New Zealand as an annual day of commemoration to remember their servicemen who died in Gallipoli. The first ANZAC Day march in London took place on 25 April 1916. ANZAC Day has been commemorated in London on 25 April every year since then.

THE PRAYERS
Prayer by The Venerable Ian Wheatley QHC, Royal Navy Chaplain of the Fleet
God our Father, we come together today to honour all those who gave themselves with great courage in service and sacrifice for their country in the Gallipoli Campaign. We pray that their example may continue to inspire us to strive for the common good, that we may build up the harmony and freedom for which they fought and died.
Help us O Lord, to lift our eyes above the torment of this broken world, and strengthen our resolve to work for peace and justice, and for the relief of want and suffering. As we honour the past, may we put our faith in your future; for you are the source of life and hope, now and forever. Amen.
Hymn led by the Choirs of Chelmsford Cathedral and accompanied by the Massed Bands
I Vow To Thee My Country
All:
I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love;
The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.
I heard my country calling, away across the sea,
Across the waste of waters, she calls and calls to me.
Her sword is girded at her side, her helmet on her head,
And around her feet are lying the dying and the dead;
I hear the noise of battle, the thunder of her guns;
I haste to thee, my mother, a son among thy sons.
And there’s another country, I’ve heard of long ago,
Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace.
Prayer read by Grace van Gageldonk (14 years old) from Australia
God of compassion and mercy, we remember with thanksgiving and sorrow, those whose lives in world wars and conflicts past and present, have been
given and taken away.
Enfold in your love, all who in bereavement, disability and pain, continue to suffer the consequences of fighting and terror; and guide and protect all those who support and sustain them. Amen.
National anthem Advance Australia Fair
Led by the Choirs of Chelmsford Cathedral and accompanied by the Massed Bands
Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil,
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in nature’s gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history’s page, let every stage
Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
‘Advance Australia Fair’.
