I enjoyed the collection and there were some surprises . Ost you mention that when Dick Richards was on the bill so was Frank Price. Frank Price was the boss of Premier Promotions and Dick Richards was the regular referee at Ilford Baths when I attended the wrestling. I can only recall dick wrestling once and that was as a substitute.Frank Price often wrestled on his own promotions as the Southern Area Light heavyweight champion.
In a local newspaper article in November 1961 Frank Price said he had been running promotions at the baths for three years I don't know when he stopped.
I was surprised to see that Dale Martin promoted at the baths, I didn't see any advertising so I missed out. And who was the promoter in 1970?.
The Roundhouse Dagenham, I thought Paul Lincoln was the only promoter to put on wrestling there.
Tony De Marto who put on a show at a bingo hall within walking distance of Ilford Baths on the same night as The Monster was wrestling Johnny Peters.
I was surprised to see Dale Martin promoting at the Roundhouse in 1962 they then moved to the bigger Barking Assembly Hall.
