A collection of posters found by workmen demolishing an old theatre in Liverpool from plays at the Royal Court Theatre Wigan, in the 1890's I believe this poster was bought by the then manager of the TURNKEY restaurant in the 1960's and was framed displayed in the restaurant. It was a play titled 'LADY OF HAIGH' telling the story of Mab's Cross. Can anyone remember seeing it in the restaurant? Does anyone know where it is now?

Also from the Wigan Chronology in the ‘Stuff’ section of this site - July 22nd 1907: ‘New Play, "The Lady of Haigh," produced at the Royal Court Theatre.’
