in Tynemouth, but made walk-on appearances at the Queen's Hall
and the Stoll Cinema in Newcastle.
In 1947 they opened their tour w/c 24 February at the Newcastle Empire, and stayed at the Royal Station Hotel, Newcastle. 1952 - w/c 17 March - found Laurel and Hardy back at the Newcastle Empire, but they ended up staying in Tynemouth again.
