Dickens connection?


Not Dickens - even more famous.  The man who lived at this property travelled the World on a dog!

Quebec House Westerham?


Not Quebec House but you're heading in the right direction from Chartwell.


The garden of this property is nice but the real star is the house and it's contents.
Many years ago, I repaired a washing machine there but didn't realise the significance of the property.  (Not that it will help you  :)  )

Interesting John, I didn't realise that GSV ever got out of their cars.


They also use mobile units and there are also photos added on Google.  In fact one of the photos is taken very close to the spot where I took my photo.

The couple who lived here had 10 children but 2 died in infancy.  Many of the surviving children and their offspring went on to have distinguished careers.
This glasshouse house can be easily seen in GSV.

Seems to remember this from the other GTP. But that's all I remember!
Has it a connection to a well known figure?


It has indeed Shoot999  :)
