Another beautiful town not on the motorway network , visited many times , scenic run from Buxton.
Never come across wrestling there before , but finally I have some in the Golden Age.
The Ritz Cinema opened in 1922 to seat 940 people and clear from the bills that Billy Shinfield , an ex boxer and Manager from Alfreton was running in conjunction with Joint Promotions. Would have thought Wryton as they were at Buxton.
Billy Shinfield died age 82 in 1989.
A mile away and often said to be a separate place , Matlock Bath. The grand Pavilion was only for about 300 people , but was the biggest Hall in the area. The Indy's were experts at making a profit out of such small capacity. Some familiar names , but I am not going to guess at the actual promoter(s)
Some unknown names on the first bill as far as I am concerned.
I love looking at these old posters. Most of the names I know from Heritage. But what about Jack Valonte? He seems to be in a main supporting match. Anyone any ideas?
