Kenwood: ca. February 1967.


Dot Jarlett's archive is up for auction, and amongst other examples of Kenwoodalia are these; "innaresting" because they show a small slice of vérité from what I'd guess is the early part of 1967. Have a look at the pic above, for example. That at least appears to be Cyn and a fully tached-up John peering down from the sunroom:


Another one of Julian messing about by the pool, but again there seems to be someone in a chair in the sunroom, gazing out over the grounds:


Note feline on the left:


A little seen corner of the pool. Note the door in the wall on the left, and the collection of junk under the garage:


To wit:


There are also a number of photos showing a visit to a local park by Cynthia, Julian and another couple of people, who look to me like John's aunt Mater, and his cousin Stan:


I could well be completely wrong about that, but once again have a look at the sunroom in this one:


Mater chatting to Cyn as John sits looking out the window?:


Palpable nonsense. Finally, a shot of the interior sunroom. No Monterey poster yet, o' course, as the titular festival had yet to happen, but most of the other familiar elements in place:


Ahh, sweet flagrant trivia.

  2. Awesome as always!!
    John looks a bit dishevelled in the first photo, maybe he's just got up, and having his breakfast in the second photo ..?
    Maybe not...but quality stuff all the same thank you !!

  3. Could the person in the third pic be Hunter Davies. Wasn't he hanging there a lot around this time?

  4. Re. The "local park". After looking at other photos taken at the same time at the park and comparing them with parks near to Kenwood, i've established the park is Churchfield Recreation Ground in Weybridge = deep deep trivia!
