Entertainment - Meadcroft

There was a lot going on in the 1950’s.

There was Carroll Levis’ Discovery show– one of the original talent shows on the radio for young people.  Sunday morning was Big Bill Campbell country and western music. Mrs Dale’s Diary.

Then there was Radio Luxembourg in the early 50’s – the only place you could get good music after 6 o’clock but you couldn’t always find the channel.

We used to go to Newport Town hall once a month but it was closed due to fire regulations.

We’d go to the Saturday Matinee at the Odeon in Bilston. There were so many children that you had to go in the back door.

I used to read the Bunty magazine, Girls Crystal, the Beano, Roy of the Rovers,  Film Fun, Woman and Women’s Own.
