You might be interested in noting the Babycham and Pony bottles, both favourites with the ladies, on the table and pin-ups on the backwall.

Cliff was obviously popular, but I cant work out who the other "stars of the day" are?

Yes how well I remember Hanningtons curtain workroom it overlooked Brighton Place. At that time mid 1960s, I was a young electrician installing some special lighting at an art restoration studio (now an Italian Restaurant) opposite the Druids Head where I parked my green Mini Car, it would be almost impossible now! The girls at the workshop would give a wave, I knew one of them quite well. Does anyone remember the Drapers Ball? It used to held at the Dome every year a lot of the staff from Hanningtons and Vokings used to attend, it was a masked ball and at some point of the evening a prize was given for the best mask then all the masks were taken off. They were good times with lots of memories.
