IT was good to read Steve Pratt’s article, headed “Rose-tinted”

(Echo, Jan 12), about Harrogate Theatre marking its 110th anniversary.

I was a paper boy near Ashford, Kent, in my youth (late Fifties) and I remember delivering a paper to Sonia Dresdel every morning.

I knew she was from the entertainment world, but knew little else about her, so it was interesting to read about her and her fellow actors.
