Many thanks to Liz Burton and David Harvey for a very informative talk on Streatham's Sleeping Beauty yesterday evening. Wow was it a hot and sticky evening and attendees enjoyed iced refreshments in the interval! #Streathamhistory

At 6.30am on Monday 3rd July 1944 a flying bomb destroyed the side wall of the theatre. Sleeping inside the theatre was an air-raid warden and his family on fire-watch duty. The bomb blew a hole 60ft in diameter but the only fatality was the warden’s mother-in-law.
