Thirza Pidgeon’s 1937 World Tour – 11 July: Yorkshire to London

Sunday, 11 July 1937

Spent the night at the York Hotel, lovely place, beautiful meal. Left this morning for the 2nd days trip to London; morning tea at Allerton, funny hotel, lunch at Grantham, afternoon tea at Cambridge Red Lion Hotel. Went into the University grounds, through the Cathedral, heard the organ playing. Place is full of the College building. Left there at 5, got back to the hotel [St Margaret’s Hotel] at 8, after a lovely trip on the 2nd day. Elsie wants me to go up again next month, but don’t think I can.

Thirza Pidgeon’s 1937 World Tour – 10 July: Bo’ness to York via Edinburgh, Alnwick and Durham

Saturday, 10 July 1937

Very wet, up at 5.30. Had breakfast. Jim, Elsie drove me down to the bus, which took me to Edinburgh. Pouring very heavy. Caught coach. Morning tea at side place, very wet; lunch at Alnwick, fine hotel, good lunch; afternoon tea at Durham, massive cathedral  there. Still very wet, too much so to walk about. Arrived at York Hotel [most likely the Royal York Hotel] at 7.30 – 2 bus loads, about 56 of us, a good crowd. Cleared up a little bit. Sat in the lounge for a while then to bed. Had a bad night.
