Stars round the corner

[clapham_gull]

Was aware that David Bowie spent his early years in Brixton, but have just realised I'm just three streets away from his childhood home.

Anyone else had stars round the corner - past or present ?

I lived opposite England wicket-keeper Paul Downton for several years. The England lock forward Paul Ackford lived in the next street so it was a very sporty community. On the other hand, the comedian Arthur Smith lived close by too - I often saw him in my local.

 

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

I live round the corner from where Harry Roberts killed three coppers in 1966. I'm not sure that that counts.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

I lived opposite Murray Goodwin when I was at Brighton Marina. When I lived in Muswell Hill in London I was 300 yards from where Denis Nielsen used to cut up gay people

Bill Pertwee, he of ARP warden in Dads Army fame, spent WWII as an evacuee round the corner from where I grew up (many years before, obviously).

 

[Grendel]

I used to live next door to Derek Quinnell, as well as his sons (though his sons weren't playing rugby at that time) many years ago.

 

[Pigsy]

Jason Lee lives round the corner from me.

 

[Cian]

A Eurovision winner used to live across the road when she was in college (Niamh Kavanagh)

 

[REDLAND]

Jimmy Page, lived down the road and the Parker-Bowles over the road when I lived in Plumpton

 

[Jello]

Clare Connor former Sussex + England Cricket Captain lived upstairs for a while and Eubank used to live a few roads away. Though that's now a building site.

Chris Adams lived in Bolney for about 6 months

 

[Rowdey]

As a nipper in Lower Bevendean, Eric Whittington lived 4 doors away, and of course his son Craig, whose name gets mentioned whenever 'Drug failures of Football' gets a spot in the rags..

 

[pasty]

I lived on the same RAF base as Rory Underwood if that counts. In fact I worked in the Officers Mess where he lived, and regularly served him in the Officers Mess bar.

 

[Wozza]

Roger Moore lived in the next road up.

AMAZING!

 

[The Large One]

Steve Bell, The Guardian cartoonist, lives opposite me.

 

[Perry's Tracksuit Bottoms]

Apparently I live round the corner from Jools Holland and Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen. I think they live in different houses though.

 

[The Large One]

BLAIR'S RESIGNATION SPEECH

 

[Shirty]

Used to live around the corner from Des Lynam. I believe he moved away once he heard I had left.

 

[Frutos]

I live a couple of roads away from Kerry Mayo

 

[Bry Nylon]

Jamie Oliver lives up the road from me.

Pukka!
