<p>Hi Audrey, </p>
<p>I am putting together a multi-media event about the life of Vivienne Eliot (more info at www.<a href="https://viviennesometimes.com" target="_blank">https://viviennesometimes.com</a>). Would you be interested in talking further about your own creative work about her? If so, I'd love to hear from you. </p>
<p>Best wishes,</p>
<p>Donna.</p>

<p>Wonderful stuff, great job, may be worth mentioning if not already known the poem by Stevie Smith was a near neighbour living in Palmers Green from 1906 to her passing in 1971. The house is still there at 1 Avondale Road Palmers Green, complete with blue plaque.</p>

<p>We too were told it was a house for mad people, said in hushed breath and no details given. I was rather afraid to go too near to it. What a beautiful house it was, though it must have contained much sadness.</p>

<p>What a beautiful grand old house that looked. And what a fabulous history pieced together. We were told as kids that it was an asylum, a hospital for "mad" people which conjured up quite frightening scenarios. I can only really remember the hoardings erected along the frontage, during the demolition I now suppose, but I do have vague recollections of the grand gate. I think the pillars remained for some time. We could gain access to the site for mucking around in. The best views…</p>

I think the pillars remained for some time. We could gain access to the site for mucking around in. The best views would be had from the upper deck of a bus passing by. What a sad demise for such a building. And that poem ! Thought provoking. Wonderful stuff again Hugh and contributors.</p> I haven’t, I’m afraid.

Thank you Hugh for the photos and your other interesting information about Northumberland House.<br />
I have recently viewed patient records for the City of London Asylum at the London Metropolitan Archive (LMA). These show that my wife's Great Grandfather was transferred there from Northumberland House in January 1901, i.e. around the time the photos were taken.<br />
Have you come across any Northumberland House patient records during your research? I cannot find any in the LMA and TNA catalogues.

<p>I'd wondered the same as you, but I think I've now satisfied myself that's there's no connection.</p>
