On my weekly visit to Northenden (strictly legitimate under covid rules) I frequently pass 377b Palatine Road, the former HQ of Wryton Promotions - at least for part of 1974 and all of 1975. By 1976 the Kirkgate Chambers, Leeds address is used - reflecting the fact that the Crabtrees were running everything by then. Wryton had a long series of addresses in South Manchester, beginning at New Court Hotel, 126 High Street Rusholme, moving over the road to 153a High Street, Rusholme - the road name later changed to Hathersage Road. By 1964 the promotion was operating from 62 (Old) Lansdowne Road, (West) Didsbury - just round the corner from Arthur Wright's home at 28 Palatine Road, Withington. I am assuming that the move from Didsbury to the slightly less prosperous suburb of Northenden is a reflection of the declining fortunes of Wryton Promotions? Arthur Wright had by that time taken his profits and retired to Anglesey. Anyone else with memories of the different places that Wryton operated from and the reasons for the moves? Incidentally, Adrian Street, in one of the volumes of his autobiography, reveals that he owned several properties not far away.

I have read a post on Twitter saying that Old David (David Franklin) has died. If this is true, it is a sad day indeed. Old David was a much loved member of this and previous forums celebrating British wrestling. As well as being a knowledgeable historian of the 1955 - 1988 era he also continued to attend shows more recently. I believe he was a good friend of Klondyke Kate and played an important role in Wrestling Heritage. Those of us who met David at the Kent reunions remember him as a charming person, full of good humour and a friend to all. Rest in Peace David

I was wondering whether anyone has the results from Brian Dixon's last show at Liverpool Stadium (16th March 1984 and or Max Crabtree's last show there (11th January 1985)? Any help much appreciated
