Back in 2018 I went to the London Hippodrome to a viewing of this delightful short film, 'Bombastic Rubbish: The Theatres of Frank Matcham.' Seeing as it's Frank's birthdate today, an excuse to share it: vimeo.com/202799420

Born #OTD 1854 the great Frank Matcham, architect of some of the most iconic theatres & music halls in the UK. Many demolished but many remain including @Grand_Theatre @VillaGaiety @LondonColiseum His legacy is kept alive today by our friends @frankmatchamsoc 👏

Celebrating #WorldToiletDay I share a few pics of the amazingly spectacular toilets at Berlin’s Wintergarten Theatre, taken on the excellent Frank Matcham visit in 2019
