Beatles play SGR

Ali

Just been browsing in a book shop and came across a book about the Beatles in London. The Beatles played the Majestic Theatre 4- 14 Stroud Green Road on 24th April 1963. I wonder if Cats realize this ? They also played 18 gigs at the Astoria around the corner

Clicking around on the links from the Finsbury Park Terminus thread, I found this... <http://www.red-rf.com/images/210 RF433 Majestic JHinsonColl.JPG&gt;

V. interesting. What's happening with the Sir George Robey pub opp the Astoria? Looks like someone started on it about 4 years ago, then got bored.

The common consensus is that it became part of this development... <http://www.stroudgreen.org/discussion/1432/new-development-on-the-corner-of-isledon-road/>;

Great Picture of the 210

Thanks Poxy. I wonder if any developer will actually complete a build within a square mile of Finsbury Park Station. Seems to be a bit of a recurring theme over the past few years.

Sod the Scouse Westlife, there were some great gigs at that place back in the day. The Walker Brothers had one of their first UK shows there, Hendrix set his guitar on fire and iirc Ziggy Stardust played with Roxy Music in support.

@Poxy: where does this common consensus come from? The pub is not included in the planning application that you cite?

Indeed, nice picture of the 210. If you look closely you can see than even then they where trying to fill the pothole.
