You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else.

I think Edwardo might mean that as you crossed London Road, there is a side street called Fraser Street which had the Shakespeare theatre on it which is the one Philip featured above earlier with Doddy on it.

I passed down there today, wasn't spying honest. There are a few decrepid looking buildings, do you mean the drama and dance school building or booklines next door to it - next to the Lord Warden pub?
Was this a find in the records office yesterday?

Yay, so I sort of got the building but didn't know its history - well done.
(and i've been in there picking up one of my daughters and her mate)
Brilliant info.
By the way, how do you join the Fourth Floor bit in the library?
I was a member years ago, and had a little cardboard card, but have lost that now!
It's only the search room bit at the rear of the 4th floor you have to join seperately from the library itself Daisy. Just take 2 items of address I.D. with you and you'll be admitted as soon as they write our your little yellow card there and then.
If you're looking for old photographs of streets, buildings, pubs, churches, ships etc, there is a maroon book on the furthest back wall shelf (there's lots of green folders there too)
Fill in the little slips with what streets or pics you want, they usually take them about every 20 mins to the archive section and they'll bring the folders to you with white gloves, you'll need a pencil too, no pens allowed.
Have fun.
