Re: The Hippodrome
Quote:
Yes - bottom on the right - I remember going there with my mum, brother + 10 of his mates as a 8th? birthday outing for him. It was an ice show, the patch of ice on stage was just big enough for 2 people!!! at a time.
We were amused by small things in those days

Actually the Hippodrome was less than half way down Ellison Street on the right. I think that there were houses after that right up to the bus and tram depot, which was across the bottom.
Whenever I managed to scrape sixpence together I would make the long, long climb up to the gods to watch the variety shows.
