The Dore Playground Action Group has been formed with the aim of improving the play area by fencing it off and providing suitable flooring and equipment. This is inevitably expensive, with only so much money available towards the project from Council funds. So far the local Cub Scout movement have been very supportive and have raised money for the Playground and the Dore Fun Run organisers have promised monies from this years planned event. The Lodge of Industry number 6579 have presented a cheque for £500 on behalf of South Yorkshire Freemasonry, and Dore to Door Catering have offered a gingerbread house for auction. Other financial pledges have been made by Garfitts International Ltd of Halfway, and by Turf Machinery Ltd of Woking. Many thanks to all who have helped so far, but we have a long way to go to raise the necessary cash. So please can you help.

  • L DTNT Records Relating to the Hull New Theatre 1939- 2008
    Hull History Centre: Records relating to the Hull New Theatre L DTNT Records relating to the Hull New Theatre 1939- 2008 Historical Background: The New Theatre which stands on Kingston Square, Hull, opened on the 16th of October 1939 with the Hull Repertory Company production of 'Me and My Girl'. Peppino Santangelo came to the city in 1924 to join the Hull Repertory Company based at the Little Theatre in Kingston Square. After turning the struggling company around, Peppino, organised the reconstruction of the former Assembly Rooms which had first been built by R. H. Sharp over 100 years earlier in 1834 into the New Theatre. Not even the outbreak of the Second World War could halt Peppino’s dream and as the theatre’s first manager, he told crowds of 1939: ‘I have made plans for your future entertainment, always bearing in mind that we are at war and that laughter and not tears should be the dominant feature.’ Performances continued throughout the war when West End productions arrived to escape the bombing in London. The theatre bar was reinforced as a bomb shelter and the building received only one direct hit, in May 1941, which destroyed the front row of stalls and all the props and costumes of the visiting Sadler’s Wells Opera Company. In the late 1960s the Theatre's stage was deepened and the orchestra pit enlarged, whilst at the same time the auditorium was improved with new seating. The theatre closed in January 2016 to undergo a huge £15.9m revamp of the venue, which would see improvements to backstage areas including a new fly tower, used for scenery, lighting and stage effects, a larger stage, and more seating.
