Hello Donna...........real sorry but I won't be able to arrange a meet up with you. I moved out of London back in 72. I hope this isn't a great disappointment but I wish you the very best with your show. Will there be some sort of "transcript" available ? Best wishes.......
Donna, real sorry but I have only just seen your request. (24/6 !?). Of course you can use whatever you wish. Wish you all the very best in your research and presentation.
The Percy family's straight-tailed lion appears all over the place - our particular tail being the one-off deliberately offensive gesture looks really unlikely, but it's a lovely Harringay myth - sad to think it fairy tale.
Hi Donna. Can't contribute anything beyond remembering the lion and his tail - I now realise he was clearly visible from upper deck of the bus travelling west to Manor House - and you were just a pavement width away. Lived off Green Lanes 1942 - 1946. Pretty busy at the mo but will find time for fun/improbable Googling about the long straight tail and its being meant as a disrespectful gesture to someone in Town. regards, Nick
Hello Donna. It's a fascinating project. Though I would be pleased to contribute in any way I can, I have little to offer apart from fuzzy childhood memories of a big house behind closed gates.
A year or two ago there was a TV documentary on T S Eliot with much about Vivienne. I thought it was BBC4 but can't find it online. It might have been this one on Sky. Anyway, I am sure you will not have missed it.
