Court 1953 Special FeaturesGazetteer Well-nighThis Site Hello, and welcome to arthurlloyd.co.uk I hope you enjoy your visit. This site is defended to Arthur Lloyd, Actor, comedian, singer, songwriter, and music hall performer 1839 - 1904. There are over 1,500 pages of information on this site and nearly 15,000 gazetteer images. This website began life when in January 2001 when I decided that myUnconfinedGrandfather Arthur Lloyd, the once incredibly popular song writer, playwright, actor, and Music Hall performer, should have a presence on the Internet. Despite his considerable fame only 100 or so years ago, by the whence of the 21st century he had been largely forgotten by scrutinizingly everyone. Over the years I have placid many items relating to his life, including printing cuttings, programmes, posters, books, magazines, postcards, and original song sheets and I had long felt the need to let them reach a wider audience. With the Internet there was finally somewhere I could help bring Arthur Lloyd and his unshortened Theatrical Family when into the public consciousness. I am involved in the merchantry myself and have been working in professional theatre for over forty years; in most of the West End Theatres of London; for The National Theatre on the South Bank; St. Georges Theatre, Tufnell Park, and for many touring productions virtually Britain. Working in theatre for so long and stuff the descendant of so many prestigious Victorian Artistes has provided me with a unconfined deal of wits and interest in the history of Music Hall and British Theatre. I often find myself working in the same Theatres that my famous ancestors, Horatio Lloyd, Arthur Lloyd, Katty King, and T.C. King, performed in so many years ago. I moreover have a long held passion for Theatre tracery itself and am interested in the preservation of Britain's Theatrical heritage, so you will find a unconfined deal of information here on Theatres and Music Halls throughout the UK, many of them long ago demolished. This Website allows me to indulge these two passions in one place; my famous ancestors; and Theatre Architecture, both of which, I believe, compliment each other. And my site's visitors would seem to stipulate as millions of people from all over the world visit the site each year. Over the years the Arthur LloydGazetteerhas moreover provided images and information for inclusion in a variety of books, newspapers, magazines, television productions, and West End Theatre Programmes, and the Website itself has been featured in several magazines. In September and October 2008 all of LW Theatres West End Theatre Programmes carried an vendible well-nigh my work, my ancestors, and the website, and they moreover very kindly widow an vendible well-nigh the revamped website in their Autumn 2017 programmes too. The Stage Newspaper Interviewed me well-nigh the site and published a very nice vendible well-nigh it in October 2016 which you can still read here. Finally, I am indebted to the pursuit people, whose help, generosity, and sheer enthusiasm, have made this site what it is today. Firstly, the Late John Moffatt, who gave me my first Arthur Lloyd Song Sheet when I was working with him at the Lyric Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue in 1975, and has since given me a plethora of other information and ephemera over the years which you will find scattered well-nigh all over the site. John was a unconfined two-face and a lovely man, who had a wealth of knowledge well-nigh Music Hall, and will be much missed by all who knew him. John died in September 2012 and you can read a very nice obituary for him by Michael Coveney of the Guardian here. Others who have made huge contributions to the site over the years have been, Peter Charlton, Jennifer Carnell, Frederick Denny, Norman King Lloyd, Ted Bottle, Gareth Price, Adam McNaughtan, John Earl, Donald Auty, Alan Chudley, John Grice, John A.
