LAUREL and HARDY in ASTON

Laurel and Hardy played at the Aston Hippodrome Theatre, in 1954.

Opposite the Aston Hippodrome is the 'Bartons Arms' public house (below - left).
You can judge the proximity from the photo on the right.

The Bartons Arms was built in 1901, as the flagship for Mitchell & Butlers Brewery, and is considered to be one of the finest examples of Victorian pub architecture. Atop is an imposing square clock tower. Sorry to say, the theatre was demolished long ago, but the 'Bartons Arms' is still there. In fact - it's now in colour! A.J Marriot
