A CERTAIN MEMBER OF OUR READERSHIP TOOK US TO TASK WHEN WE MADE THE STATEMENT THAT NORTHAMPTON WAS THE CENTRE OF THE BH EMPIRE, IN AS MUCH AS HE CONSIDERED BERKELEY SQUARE TO BE THE HUB, AND THAT MORE PEOPLE PASSED THROUGH THERE THAN THEY DID AT NORTHAMPTON. (NB: WE WERE ADVISED THAT MANY YEARS AGO A CERTAIN PARTY HAD PASSED THROUGH THE PORTALS OF 25 FOR A JOB INTERVIEW, AND DIDNT GET IT……..AND SOME SAY THAT IS WHY ONE DAY WHY BH WAS TAKEN OVER WITH SUCH ACRIMONY, AS THAT CERTAIN PARTY HAD NOT FORGOTTEN !!)
ANYWAY, MUCH AS WE LOVE 25, WE STILL THINK NORTHAMPTON WAS THE HUB, SO TED, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO CONVINCE US OTHERWISE, OR WE WILL STILL CONTINUE TO SPOUT IT.
The well known view from across the Square, seen so many times on BH publications, from a 1955 brochure ……….
….followed by the introduction inside……
….. a later brochure from the 1970`s provided this line-up of substantial company ambassadors…..
…. and lastly for now, the highlight of the December 1978 BH Newsletter, the Berkeley Square production of Aladin & The Magic Lamp, with everybody who mattered getting a part, whether he wanted one or not…..like to know who wrote it, as he was either very brave, or must have had a private income !! (Our money`s on Jailler !!) So take your seats, buy your ice cream, sit back, and enjoy !!
