HOMEBREW HERITAGE

 More  1990's telly from Joyce Wilding.   Our main interest here is in the visit to the Brewery, but again I thought you'd enjoy seeing the whole piece. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fb_VVAn9o94g0akgs4T9NbZROzL-kJFf/view?usp=sharing This is a Holiday programme from North West Tonight...Bill Cubin and and the Laurel and Hardy museum are featured again, we visit Argyle Street and we see the presenters surrounded by a crowd of kids in Stan And Ollie masks...are you in that crowd?

He doesn't mince his words.  The camera roams the town, goes up Hoad and inside the unrenovated monument, then pans across the streets on market day where I'm sure a few of you will recognise friends and family. If you want a still, let me know exactly where in the film it is and I'll grab it and email it to you.  I don't know much about the presenter. Looks an alright way to make a living, t...
