Bit like Terry Thomas. Both sadly died from Parkinson's. Does his wife, Angela Douglas still live there?

Reach for the sky..., a wonderful film

hey JK, good news to hear KM was your neighbour

anyhows..., thought i would mention that the blue ''plaque'' isnt actually a plaque.

the concavity of the ''plaque'' faces downward.

while undertaking some design features in the 80's i was asked to contribute ideas for re-design of the memorial

ever wondered why the blue ''plaques'' look so clean?

After firing, ''plaques'' have a thickness of 2 inches and a final diameter of 19½ inches.


this concavity means they are self-cleansing and require virtually no maintenance.

great design idea isnt it?

i have always referred to them as the blue dome
