Three Brothers - Update

An anonymous (...) tip-off from Twitter sent me to this site, where there's an interesting clue as to where exactly these three boys might have been staying.

South Shore is also a part of Blackpool, and the Brighton was the name of a hotel at 465 South Promenade. The Colonial Hotel, as it is now known, had a bit of a wobble a few years ago when it was fined for hygiene concerns, however it has since been renovated and there are some glowing reviews around on the internet. The hotel is situated directly in South Shore, and although I cannot find when the building dates from (anyone know?? ) it certainly looks as if it could be contemporary to the photographs. I think the first mystery is absolutely solved! :) But then... who is this mysterious C W he was with...? Until I find out...

Poster Campaign

Spent today gleefully rummaging around for bunches of lace in the local haberdashery (okay, it does fuzzy fur and buttons that look like footballs as well), buying an Italian leather bag for pence and then making a lining for it while chuckling at the League of Gentleman Christmas Special, and making posters.




See them soon in a town near you... if you live in northern Dorset, that is.
