Visitors to Rotherham Show this weekend will have been able to leave a
special message in memory of much-loved entertainer Barry Chuckle.
Barry Elliott, famously known as Barry Chuckle, one half of the much loved
entertainment duo the Chuckle Brothers, passed away in August 2018
Two “Memory Books” have been opened in Rotherham, where people are invited
to leave their memories of Barry – including the laughs, the smiles and “to
me to yous” as well as condolences.
This weekend the memory books will be available to sign at Clifton Park
Museum and in the Wentworth and Elsecar Great Place Creative Zone Tipi at
Rotherham Show.
Following the show, which takes place on Saturday and Sunday at Clifton
Park, one book will remain at the Museum while the second memory book will
move to the Civic Theatre on Percy Street.
Cllr Sarah Allen, Rotherham Council’s Cabinet Member for Cleaner, Greener
Communities said: “The Chuckle Brothers have always been very dear to many
people in Rotherham, particularly the generation who grew up watching their
antics on children’s television.
“The memory books will be here for people to record their memories of Barry
until Christmas 2018 when they will become part of the collection at
Rotherham Archives and Local Studies.”
Clifton Park Museum is open Monday to Fridays 10am – 5pm, Saturdays 9.30am –
5pm and (until the end of September) Sundays 1.30 pm – 4.30 pm. The Civic
Theatre is open Mondays to Saturdays: 9.30 am – 4.45 pm (except bank
holidays).
Rotherham Show takes place on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 September at Clifton
Park from 10.00 am until 5.30 pm. Find out more at the Rotherham Show
website or follow the Council’s events team on Facebook for updates on the
Show.
