Does anyone know if this is true?   http://www.hiddenhousehistory.co.uk/househi....Id=9346 -------------- ‘Is my team ploughing,    'That I was used to drive   And hear the harness jingle    When I was man alive?'

Sally sold it to the Griffiths family (not the same as the Penrhos Court family) who started the B & B. I didn't have those dates, but it helps if you speak to the person who currently owns the deeds. Back to top

I didn't have those dates, but it helps if you speak to the person who currently owns the deeds. Before Mike, it was owned by Percy Gorton and Lillian Bradley and Sally sold it to William Charles and Roserie Griffiths. So, the timeline is: 1925 - 1938: Henry Knollys and Ellen Geraldine Foster 1938 - 1962: Harry Peter and Augusta Emily Hing 1962 - 1973: Percy Gordon and Lillian Joyce Bradley 1973 - 1977: Mike Oldfield 1977 - 1979: Sally Oldfield 1979 - 2003: Charles Lionel and Roserie Joan Griffiths 2003 - 2006: Shirley and Robert Pritchard 2006 -        : Mark and Helen Balcombe   -------------- Ray said : "it is a shame you don't play" manintherain said: "You´d better ask Mr. Y who was first" yanouch65 says: "I am in love with Scotland" Back to top

Airborne Group: Members Posts: 192 Joined: Sep. 2006 Posted: Oct. 30 2011, 19:55 Thanks yanouch, you have been digging! I guess the story I was told about the two sisters was made up. I've now found the timeline and my little sketch plan of the studio has been included! Back to top

I guess the story I was told about the two sisters was made up. I've now found the timeline and my little sketch plan of the studio has been included! Regarding the plan of the studio, are you sure it is correct? I ask this question because we often see a picture of Mike playing his Grand Piano downstairs The Beacon. In this picture, there is a window in the background behind him but not in your plan. ? -------------- Ray said : "it is a shame you don't play" manintherain said: "You´d better ask Mr. Y who was first" yanouch65 says: "I am in love with Scotland" Back to top

Airborne Group: Members Posts: 192 Joined: Sep. 2006 Posted: Oct. 30 2011, 21:12 Ahh - that picture was taken in 1974. He shuffled the furniture around when the mixing desk went in. The plan is for the recording of Ommadawn only. Back to top

Bradnorman Group: Members Posts: 142 Joined: Oct. 2011 Posted: Oct. 31 2011, 15:40 yanouch/airborne Wow!!!!!! I really am impressed by the extent of your knowledge. My  question certainly has been answered satisfactorily! Well done guys. Thanks. Have you had a look at my mystery photo post yet? No one has come up with an answer so far. Should be really easy. -------------- ‘Is my team ploughing,    'That I was used to drive   And hear the harness jingle    When I was man alive?' Life is arbitrary Back to top

yanouch65 Group: Members Posts: 680 Joined: Feb. 2006 Posted: Nov. 01 2011, 08:57 Thank you very much I am looking for some photos of the Beacon from 1925 to the 80's. I have some, but they are very bad quality. Have you got any in good quality? -------------- Ray said : "it is a shame you don't play" manintherain said: "You´d better ask Mr. Y who was first" yanouch65 says: "I am in love with Scotland" Back to top
