I have just enjoyed looking at the Astoria ballroom newspaper cuttings, in particular the Jimmy Heyworth articles, ...... Thank you for printing the cuttings on your page, it has been a lovely trip down memory lane for myself and my family. Regards. Joyce Whelan (nee Newton).

Dear Bryan,
I am James Heyworth son of Jimmy Heyworth and Margaret (nee Myerscough)I just wanted to send you a note to say how appreciative I am for your feature of the blog on the Astoria which I discovered on the internet.

Hi Bryan,
Just had a look at your Ben Barnes Blog Part 2.
It is a credit too you finding out all this information and sharing it with everybody .What cracking photographs the barnes family have let you use. There is some cracking information to go with it too. The old photographs of the wagons are grand ones and are a credit too the barnes history. At least now with all the hard work you have put in people will be able too see and read about B.Barnes Transport.
Keep up the good work Bryan.
Regards.
Dave.

Bryan, after looking at your blog of b barnes I was pleased to see my late father on the pictures as he worked there for approx 14yrs from coming from Scotland to his death in 1982, I worked there briefly after leaving school and found the article very interesting, also if you wanted anymore photos I have a few with my father and some old vehicles…

Many thanks
Andy Clegg
