The #circus is born. On #EasterMonday 1768, Mr & Mrs Philip Astley gave their first public performances of 'equestrian excellence' at Halfpenny Hatch, #Lambeth . Adding a clown and acrobats, they launched the art-form of 'Circus'. @circus250@CircusDiaries @LERAroupell

#AudaciousMrAstley congratulates @LeithDavis for her work on the early history of Astley's Amphitheatre. Thanks also to @BL_Labs for their work! But - please ensure the prominence of Patty, Mrs Astley, whose contribution is arguably equal to her husband's.
