Fantastic!
A selection of items found under the floorboards of the Britannia Panopticon, a music hall which opened in Glasgow the 1850s. Most of these will have been objects dropped by those attending shows.

We recently met Cat & Sue from @rtyds.bsky.social #RTYDS, at #BurnleyEmpire & learned all about their #FairPlay programme to address the barriers experienced by working class artists, and how they help them to sustain a career within the #theatre industry by tackling socio-economic inequality 👏

'NUFF SAID' - May 1918
107 years ago in May when the one and only Dr Walford Bodie toured @thestage.co.uk Stage reported: 'all records broken at Empire, #Burnley, despite great depression, 14,000 men out of the town, phenomenal hot weather, big counter attractions and super tax'.

BET Trustee Allen has been photographing the #BurnleyEmpire since the Trust took ownership of the historic venue, capturing its decorative details as the interior ages gracefully. In this photo you can see the surviving decorative fibrous plasterwork designed by celebrated Architect #BertieCrewe
