Branscombe's Original Programme

[tackler7]

Does anyone know anything about Branscombe's Original Programme?

I have a programme from 1922 which bears the notation "Established 1882. The oldest Programme in Great Britain."

I don't think it's anything to do with football, well nothing that I've ever heard of, though I could be wrong. It is probably musical theatre, comedy or vaudeville, a touring production maybe which went around the country.

My programme is for a rugby union game - although described as "Grand Football Match", so even if they started out as producers of theatre etc programmes, they moved into sport at sometime before 1922.
