THE DANCING

[IBM]

Here is yet another big band and some old cars for the old boys

Ah The Corries now that's better   Front of late 50's Austin A40 Somerset, Ford Cortina, Morris Minor & Ford Prefect

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Thank feck the car is hidden !!

[IBM]

It's not the Playhouse as I remember it, I thought you went up steps and I have never herd of Soldiers and Sailors Home in Inverness.  The photo is from Baron Taylors St with the Imperial Bar on the left which was still called that until the late seventies.  And the car may be a Triumph Mayflower   

[Scarlet Pimple]

Yep, and a lot smaller than I remember...but then.......I saw Spartacus in that place and more than once in North America since then. Smile

So are you Spartacus as well?   I think the Tourist Board was in there before the pet shop. That photo kind of looks a bit 1950s. I don't remember the Soldiers' and Sailors' Home though.

[Scarlet Pimple]

Chas,  now you are over seventy I can understand why you don't want to publish your age in your profile. Hoch! Hoch!

But Laddie,i t's nae age that coonts, old chap, but spirit and what's in the heart. Yesssss.! 

 

Me, Spartacus and Scarlet all look like gateposts so who recognizes any one of us in a kilt eh? And ...who cares?

Maybe that's why sometimes we are each of us confused with Braveheart . In this case it's always the hairy legs that brings home the bacon...isn't that right Oddquine?

[JIMFURD]

IBM - yes I remember the Playhouse like this with the Soldiers, Sailors Home above the STB offices and there were no steps up, only steps after the ticket office inside before you got to the Stalls and the stairs up to the Balcony. The Palace had steps up on the outside though.

It burned down didn't it ?

[Charles Bannerman]

It burned down didn't it ?

1972. Can anyone name the film that was showing at the time?

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

T think it was Le Mans but might be wrong on that one.

[Charles Bannerman]

T think it was Le Mans but might be wrong on that one.

Back to the Empire

Where are the white Aran jumpers?

Better transport

Long before Greigs, Macbraynes and Highland. The V reg is a surprise, it would be an improvement from the horse & cart but would have been a bumpy journey with the solid rubber tyres. Note the bus is chain driven on the rear axel and must have been expensive as they all look like toffs!

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

More feckin cars

[caleyboy]

Better transport

It's the County team bus!

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Which seat was yours ?

[Charles Bannerman]

Since there is no sign of fleas jumping about down below, I'm going to hazard a guess that this is the balcony in the Playhouse rather than the La Scala!

[IBM]

More feckin cars

Missed this one, Morris Six, the next I don't know but note it has a foreign registration with a Vauxhall ( may be a Victor) tucked in behind.
