Anon… Remembers…….Elsie Siddele Downing

Many local people also performed on the stage.  Every year a local dance teacher - Elsie Siddele Downing, wife of Mr Biggs the greengrocer, put on a show to show off the talents of all her pupils.

Many Redditch entertainers were included in the shows, such as Cliff Field, Jess Yoxall, Colin Wheeler, John Emms, Joe Brennan and Eddie Crumpton among them.”
