I thought that rather than spoil the continuity of Rathbone's "On the Beach" Thread I would start a new thread so that I could say how much I am enjoying these daily historical snippets of the story of Portobello beach.
I know from experience on the Scotsman Archive project how daunting it can be trawling through the archives trying to identify juicy little stories so well done Rathbone - your hard work is paying off handsomely.
I don't know how many more of these episodes are to come but they would make an excellent booklet with some well chosen illustrations.

I have nothing to say and I'm going to say it.

As Rathbone is far too modest to mention this, I thought you should know that one of the reasons we have made his 'Portobello Showmen' work available on the site is as a result of a request from Archie Foley.
An international conference on magic and magician performers takes place in London during the week beginning 18th September and Rathbone's research on Andre Letta in particular will be of great interest to historians of magic.
