Some crazy bills here from 60 years ago. Bedlington Station ironically closed in 1964 and had a nearby ballroom that sometimes doubled as a Roller Rink.
Who some of the wrestlers were , maybe Hack knows from his North east Contacts.
Arnie Bulloch has cropped up before and of course Dicky Swales.
Just enjoy the nostalgia.
Looks reasonably priced after a quick look round 1964.
This was in my heyday as a wrestling fan and the only name I recognise is Digger Rowell, who appeared once or twice at Morecambe around that time.
We are not alone .... in our ignorance.

They hadn't. (Muttered something about being too young).
He doesn't appear anywhere online, I wonder if he was a local business man or even manager of the dance hall who bought in the show from another promotion.
the Clayton Ballroom has come up before when we had a thread on Arni Bulloch I believe there's a photo of the Clayton on that thread, I believe the building is now a medical centre
