Christmas Eve 1823

A good sized pie

A pie was exhibited and eaten at Mr Turner's, Sheffield on Christmas Eve, of the following size :

One yard and a half long, two feet wide, one foot deep and ten feet around - it was baked by Mr Barlow, quite perfect, the crust consisting of six stone of rye meal.

Anyone for another helping of pigeon curry ?

The Regent Cinema, Barker's Pool, later became Gaumont. Designed by W.E. Trent. Opened 26th December, 1927. Became the Gaumont in 1946 and was twinned by Rank in 1969 & tripled in 1979. Closed 7th November 1985

Cinema/Theatre buffs, what year is this ? Might want to add this to Cinema thread ?
