Harringay Fifties Livecasts

From the 1954 Billy Graham Crusade recollections of 100 year old George Beverley:


"The Harringay arena seated some 12,000 and it was filled every night," he began. "And then someone thought of the idea of carrying the meetings by landlines to other parts of the United Kingdom. During the War, they had extra phone lines that they used and somebody saw those idle lines and got them all hooked up. And so one night we had some fifty areas hooked up to Harringay. They were listening in churches, auditoriums in Wales and Scotland, and Ireland. It was marvellous!"
