Ticket sales for the bus tour have been slower than a steam tram going up Church Bank on icy rails. Seeing I would be paying for any shortfall I took the decision today to cancel early.
The documentary about Priestley coming back to Bradford will be screened at Pictureville, and I will offer to take the few that have bought tickets for the bus trip to the places seen in the film, by service bus; but not on the 17th.
I have just found a poster I created on a Macintosh Plus for a showing of J.B.Priestley’s Lost City, at Pictureville, which I organised for the 9th May, 1998. I have not seen the film since, but the poster has enough details to make it worth reproducing.
Don’t forget that tickets for a showing of this film and a vintage bus tour of various scenes from the film are available for £15 from The Record Cafe ( 01274 723143 ) and Sparrow Bar ( 01274 270772 ). The film will be shown at Pictureville again, starting at 11.00. Sunday 17th Sept.

J.B.Priestley returns to Bradford, the city of his lost youth. A historically fascinating, evocative and charming film.
