Dear All,
There are more details on HPG in S. Buczacki’s excellent _Churchill &
Chartwell_ :
No. 27 was bought for £7,000 in August 1946 (p.257) - he has no figures for
No.28, bought the year before
Best wishes to all,
A.C.

Richard is modest, as always, regarding the enormous contribution he made in
making this material available to the Churchill community. I have a copy of
this reproduction and it is of excellent quality. Sixteen pages and eleven
illustrations. The auction for the freehold was held on 28th October 1965.
A quick google yields little on the results. Does anyone know what the
properties (27 was bundled in with 28) fetched?
I paid a visit to Hyde Park Gate somewhere around 1997, and got there at a
time when the property was undergoing extensive renovation. The front door
of 28 was wide open, with a builder’s van parked outside – and clearly
nobody in residence. Alas, I lacked the courage to ask (bribe) the builder
for a quick peek around. I would have loved to have been able to look
through the window where the iconic 90th birthday image was taken – from the
inside.

Mary Soames mentions the back garden as one of the features of
the property which so pleased the family, but I had never seen any
photographs of it.
Antoine,
Attached garden photo is from the estate agent (Knight, Frank & Rutley)
brochure when HPG it was put up for sale after WSC's death.
Years ago I reproduced this very elaborate illustrated document as an ICS
publication, so copies may be around
