Throughout the Country Back in The 1960'S- There were a Small Handful of really Popular

Thanks Ian.
Certainly the Morrell style of four equally presented bouts in the four corners of the poster, all the same size.
The colours are a surprise.
Hi Anglo. I think you will find the promoter was Morrell & Beresford. They also had Cleethorpes & Lincoln that come to mind
Regards, Ian,
These same style of poster (smaller size) were also used for shows elsewhere; including Lime Grove Baths, Spence Street Baths Leicester (when did they move over to De Montfort Hall?) and the Drill Hall in Chesterfield. I thought I had a Grimsby one to share, but it appears not. Thanks for these MM!
So who was the promter in the heart of Relwyskow land?
Maybe Baby Barry in short trousers was making the posters as part of a colouring in exercise?
Very distinctive style of poster MM
