Postcard 'Francis Redvers' Miniature Theatre' sent to George Walton and his sister Dorothy, from Enid & Frank. No address or postmark.

The Francis Redvers' miniature puppet theatre was based at 5 Waverley Road, Bournemouth, Dorset. It could be hired from 5 Waverley Road until 1959 (when he emigrated). It is believed that the original puppet bodies were made by William Taylor Copeland's pottery in Stoke on Trent.

Reg Mickisch and George Walton met in 1949 and were together for over 60 years, passing away within a few weeks of each other in 2011. Their story features in Mike Parker’s 2019 book On the Red Hill.
