Laurel & Hardy in Carlisle

COUNTY HOTEL
2006 still a working hotel, but
name changed to Lakes Court Hotel.

One would think that Stan Laurel would have insisted that he and Oliver Hardy play Carlisle
on all their stage tours, so he could visit his hometown of Ulverston. But Laurel and Hardy
played it just once, w/c 19 April 1954,
at Her Majesty’s Theatre, in Lowther Street, and stayed at the County Hotel, Station Square.
When not at the theatre, Stan and Babe spent all their time in the hotel as, by this time, they were
pretty well on their last legs, and just wanting the tour to end.
