Noele opened the public toilets at Hanley Park Stoke-On-Trent in the 1970s. We are disappointed that no photos of this 'glamorous occasion' can be found. We hope she cut toilet roll rather than a ribbon on the day. #Nolly #Nolly PBS #StokeOnTrent (Pic: opening Holiday Inn Bar)

Remembering legendary film director Alfred Hitchcock,who died on this day in 1980. Back in June 1964 he visited the Granada TV studios in Manchester where he was photographed at the door of the Rovers Return.
