This web-site is not meant to be the story of Laurel and Hardy's British Tours, but is solely a guide for those who may wish to visit some, or all, of the extant theatres at which Laurel and Hardy played, and the hotels at which they stayed, during their four tours of Britain.
It also contains details of locations which have significance to Stan Laurels early life, before he went to work, and live, in the United States of America.
It is arranged in geographical order, beginning at Stan Laurels birthplace, and ending at the theatre where Laurel and Hardy played their last-ever stage performance - at Plymouth.
