The Cambridge theatre couldn’t have been to far from where I first went to work in Bishopsgate, London, same telephone exchange the theatre on 1105 Avenue phone number where I worked was Avenue 5418 and Avenue 5419, seems the only thing changed was putting the name of the exchange first.

Do you know when the Cambridge Theatre came down as I don’t recall it being there in 1950?

Thanks for the post as always a jolly good read 🙂

I met Bud towards the evening of his life when he opened a betting shop in Romford, he was wearing the long fur coat that is in these pictures.

Destroyed by fire, 5/12/1964
The flames could be seen from Walthamstow.
