Ok, name changed -
so...I live verynearby and our family business is round the corner..have lived in the area my whole life.
It’s not in Blackpool. It’s in St Annes. Lytham is not a shit hole. And yes...there are quite a few millionaires there including my family
@Sarcelle All the houses and hotels on St Annes Promenade are set back like that. At that point the sand dunes aren’t as high as they look but sand is a big problem in the area. It even gets in the gardens of the houses on Clifton Drive which runs directly parallel behind this road.
There was a tiny old sports car parked on the road opposite for many years. My memories are so patchy but this could have been in the 90s or 00s. Always a surprise it was left on the road as it was open top and clearly vintage parked near the steep bend. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s under that duvet in the garage! As a child, I was clambering over the sand dunes bucket and spade in hand and a man appeared out of nowhere looking very stern and telling me to get away. I wasn’t within touching distance at the time and was quite scared. My parents thought the gentleman was very rude. He seemed quite old and stressed. I’d imagine he’d be late 80s early 90s now and seemed fairly wealthy. It was a bottle green little coupe type car. Don’t know for definite that it was the owner but it was so close to that house.
My parents friend lived just around the bend, I’ve not any way of getting in contact or I would have asked her if she knew about the house. The Mafia Princess lived on the very same road!
It’s not Royston Vasey (Chubby Brown), Roy Walker, Joe Longthorne, Bobby Ball or anyone else that’s been mentioned. I know/knew all of those people.
I actually wouldn’t be surprised if the master bedroom was once an office or work room and the “dressing tables” could be have been desks or work tables - is that a sewing machine or typewriter underneath?
Also the piano room, seems to have an organ in the left hand corner. So a music enthusiast. But I doubt anyone well known because I’m pretty sure I’d know about it. I can ask around though.
