[Liana Lloyd]

Hi all,

I have not posted on here for such a long time so I hope everyone is well, we have been watching Laurel and Hardy films (I absolutely love them!!!!), I have been and stood outside Stan Laurels house in Ulverston before now and been to the museum several times so I cannot believe I did not know that Stan Laurels daughter made a cameo appearance in LOTSW the title was Bicycle Bonanza I think it said - thoughts did you know or did some not know thanks Liana x

Hi Liana

I think this subject has been discussed on the forum some years back and is probably well know by our bunch of Barmpots, nice to see you here after some time

Are you still staying in your trusty T3?

I loved how they played the music with her apparence, those hats had to be made by the costume designer because no way did a shop stock those.

It’s gone .. we’ve bought a t5. We had reached the point of wanting something that did more than 20 miles to the gallon and it was going to need a bit of work to keep it in good nick so I sold it to a younger man whose going to do just that. We had some great times in it over the years and had nursed it to its 42nd year.

Hello Liana,

I posted a few years back , Stan Laurel spent some time with his family living in North Shields a fishing port at the mouth of the Tyne . He lived in Dockwray Square above the port , there are long flights of steps that take you up and down to the port itself and it's postulated that he got the idea for the Music box from his days running up and down those flights to the port. Here are pictures of the blue plaque from his house and the statue that adorns the square . His father ran a theatre in the town and it is believed Stan helped out at a very young age all of which added to him learning his craft.

It does to be honest Barry but I could repair most things on the t3 engine but not so sure I’ll be as proficient on that front with this one. We have just got back from the Dickensian market at Ulverston.
