I've just added a few new galleries to that section of the website.
- Ashfield district towns Sutton-in-Ashfield & Kirkby-in-Ashfield, many thanks to Main Mask who had supplied many of these images to the forum. I had a dozen or more that i've added to his.
- Hackney Empire (Paul Lincoln promotions). This is from Dave C's vast collection of Lincoln items.
If I get a chance I may be able to add another one or two more galleries. Flash player (which the "upload photos" button feature uses) is not being supported after December 31, 2020 so it might be the last lot I can add for a while until a workaround is reached. https://www.wrestlingheritage.co.uk/apps/photos/
Happy New Year everyone.
Fascinating browsing as ever, thanks for sharing.
Karate Kendo the judo star in early appearances.
Kiwogima from Nagasaki in 1963.
These first sightings of the words Kendo Nagasaki in 1962 and 1963 - just how original was the ring name in late 1964?
Hayes v Hunter! They had a little feud with Hayes winning the Empire title. I wasn't aware of that.
The northerners seemed to be required to lose on a regular basis - Bobby Graham, Farmer Johnny and others.
And a new masked wrestler appears in name: THE MASKED MINER. A no-show here but he apparantly had had a four-month unbeaten run. Anyone got any ideas?
First photos for me of a few wrestlers. There are 80 pages but about 30 are duplicates.
