Topic: Wolverhampton Hippodrome

This is the anniversary of the fire that destroyed the Wolverhampton Hippodrome in 1956, I wonder if by any chance there is anyone on here who may remember it.

I was in the show that was playing there that week, and the fire took hold somewhere in the auditorium whilst we were packing up on the Saturday night.

A Wolverhampton history group asked me to do a piece for them.  http://historywebsite.co.uk/articles/hi … last01.htm

Re: Wolverhampton Hippodrome

I’ve never been to Wolverhampton, and February 1956 is a bit before my time, but some of our fellow forum members may remember the event. Thanks for sharing the link to your article about it.
