The Lyric was originally the St Georges Theatre and continued as a theatre up until the outbreak of world war two. My late mother and her sister appeared there in 1938 in Joy Parade, I still have the programme for that, it was a fully professional show from London and my family were The Swan Sisters. The Henshall family continued to run the Lyric and my mother then retired from the stage and settled in Mablethorpe often worked for Madge the owner, her connection with the building went into its time as a bingo hall where she called the games. Such a shame that it could not carry on as a entertainment venue it was cosy, friendly and a great place for us kids in the 50s to go to and as we grew up it had those wonderful double seats at the rear of the balcony
