My dad used to own a shop which I am sure was in the theatre royal in the 70's /80's.

I seem to recall it was an outdoor pursuits / sports shop.

Does anyone have any memories or photos?

I am trying to reaearch family history at the moment and would love some more info.

Dad's name was Bruce Lacey. (a.k.a Thomas Lacey)

Thanks very much

My father worked in Chatham dockyard during the day, he then biked to the Theatre Royal Chatham where he worked until 10pm as part of a team of scene movers. He used to tell us tales of Humphrey, the theatres resident Ghost. As children it was of course very scary, more so when on a Saturday when I would go with him and sit up in the gods with Humphrey waiting for my father to finish. Was he really there? For me as boy, yes he was, now I don't know!
