Re: Gert Lush Albums

All my archive Bristol photographs are now on my Flickr photos account. At the last count there were over 4,000. You can search the database all photos are tagged with key words. All images are free to view. The Laurel & Hardy image is Dump Harris from Barton Hill. 1930s

A memorable picture of Dump Harris from Barton Hill a famous Bristol comedian of his time and an acclaimed Oliver Hardy imitator. When Laurel and Hardy came to Bristol. Dump and his partner Freddy Godfrey were in the crowd to meet them, dressed as their heroes. The crowd loved it but Laurel and Hardy weren’t amused. (After the show they refused to be photographed next to Dump?)
