Love this, brings back fine memories, I worked at The Midland as a school leaver in 1956 and worked in the porters lodge for five years, in the dancing I know the two musicians you can see.

God bless Thora-Never forgot her roots! Her role in "A Kind Of Loving" ranks as one of British cinemas finest moments.

SCREENSTEALERS; I completely forgot about this great series.Thanks very much for sharing it, I loved everything, including the music and presenter's. I'm going to try and track down more of this--if I can. I've just discovered the name of another iconic building in this town--The Battery Hotel''. Not sure if it is still standing, but it is shown in the background of a RAF passing out Group Photo, taken about 1940. My brother is among the group. There are several Hotels with this unusual name, but none of this Victorian ? era. I now have a nice period photograph of it.

These shows were made between 1993 & 2000, unfortunately I don't have the whole show, so I don't know the exact date of this episode, but that may help you.

Was this made before or after its renovation?
