It was regal. I passed it everyday as a teenager in the early and mid 70s on my way to Whetstone High School. In 1977 my girlfriend took me through to see it “redecorated” by a consortium of interior designers (it was awful). It had a bowling alley and shooting range in the basement.

Richard Zimmerman became a client of mine in 2000. At the time, he was ill and working to get his affairs in order. He told me how the house had been sold out of the family in 1976 and that he had spent years trying to get it back. He succeeded in 1990.

I delivered some documents we produced for Richard to the house in 2000 but wasn’t invited in. Tragically, it was torn down in 2015. The property is still held in trust by the Zimmerman family.
