What should be in England’s Hall of Fame?

Since launching the search to establish VisitEngland’s Hall of Fame, submissions have included everything from the world’s first public museum and smallest cinema to the world’s first chocolate bar and largest royal home. There’s still three weeks left for the public to submit their favourite claim to fame. Meanwhile, these are some of the claims vying for a place in England’s Hall of Fame.

The world’s smallest cinema: Screen 22: Nottingham’s Screen 22 is claimed to be the smallest digital recognized single screen cinema in the world. With only 22 seats, you can experience the comfort of your living room alongside the big screen.

The world’s first chocolate bar: Fry’s chocolate factory, Union Street, Bristol, molded the first chocolate bar for widespread consumption in 1866.

The world’s first public museum: The British Museum: Founded in 1753 and open to the public in 1759, London’s British Museum enjoys the prestige of being the world’s first ever national public museum. Today, it houses eight million artefacts from across the globe and spans across two million years of human history.

The world’s oldest football club: Sheffield FC: Though it’s thought similar games were played in ancient China, Greece and Rome, football – as we know it – is claimed to have been created in Sheffield back in 1857.
