NOT THE HOUSE that JACK built, but GEORGE. George Cushing that is,
Peter Cushing's father. George was a quantity surveyor for Purley
District Council, who bought the land this house sits on, and also
designed and planned the building of it! The Cushing family moved in
1926, and Peter born in 1913, his brother David three years older, lived
there for many years.The house has now been lovingly renovated, spruced
up, to enhance it's Edwardian style by the charming
Camlett family, who certainly appreciate the Cushing connection of the
house! Only this July a BLUE PLAQUE was placed on the house, to
celebrate its connection, to Peter Cushing.
ABOVE: HOW THE HOUSE LOOKED, JUST A FEW YEARS AGO, BEFORE THE CAMLETT FAMILY, WONDERFUL RESTORATION!
PETER ALONG with his father GEORGE at the home in St James Road, on the announcement of Peter'S engagement to Helen, who would soon be his wife!
THE LONDON BLUE PLAQUE SCHEME prides
itself on celebrating extraordinary people at the places where they
lived and worked.This beautiful house on St James Road, Purley is the
second Cushing home to be awarded a Blue Plaque. The first was erected
at the home of Peter and his wife, Helen Cushing in Whitstable, Kent.
