I remember in the 1950s my mum used to take us to the Ideal Home Exhibition for the day. She once bought an omelette maker. In the afternoon we would watch a display of coloured dancing water. Such happy memories.

My mum would have been 126 years old today 😳

I loved those dancing waters.
There were also so many demonstrations a bit like the shopping channels now. It was sad when Bingley Hall burnt down.

Been to two. Earl’s Court, one at the Trafford Centre.
Couldn’t get round & out fast enough too packed.
No back packs checked on the way in. I just didn’t feel safe.

I remember going to the circus in Bingley Hall as well as the Ideal Home exhibition. I can still see the lions in their cage with the lion tamer!

I’d forgotten it was called Bingley Hall. I can visualise it now.
