Kenwood: summer, 1968 - part 2.


More from Cathy. The den was really Cynthia's equivalent of the sunroom/attic; it was where she hung out. This little snapshot at last answers some questions, and ties together many photos previously seen on these pages. So, to start, some perspective; you can see the corner of the piano in the bottom left, and in position in the Fool shots:


The rather touching pic of Julian fiddling about with pater's tache was also taken here, as suspected:


Long term readers will recall the outbreak of ultra-violence that accompanied the debate about this pic. Was it taken in the den or not? I think this proves it was (note - that's the sunroom couch; which, I reckon, means this photo was taken in 1965, pre-sunroom.):


And, o' course, the Ringo authored family shot that appeared in the Beatles' biography in 1968; once again, this couch was the venue:


Finally, the same spot, almost exactly, from around 2006:


Huge thanks again to Cathy and Lizzie. More to come, very soon.
