aen27 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 "August 12" Photograph courtesy of Jimmy Page I have been told he may possibly be at Tower House, not Plumpton. As I have never seen the grounds, I don't know for certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 I have been told he may possibly be at Tower House, not Plumpton. As I have never seen the grounds, I don't know for certain. The layout of the paving stones as well as the landscaping are an exact match to those in front of Plumpton Place as illustrated in several of the photographs within this thread.

SteveAJones Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 I have some photos of Jimmy recording Sep. 30, 1973. I've seen those (also taken at Plumpton Place) and wanted to ask how did you ascertain that date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglelover Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 George Harrison was lucky enough to purchase Friar Park. He and Olivia spent the last years of his life restoring the gardens. So don't feel sorry for him. George will never be forgotten. Oh! That's great info, thanks for sharing Alice!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzzoso Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Thank you. Jimmy with a rod and reel? Now there's a mental image. I don't think so. I have a photo of Jimmy's Plumpton Place caretaker (Pat?) taken around the same time (1974). He would know for sure but his whereabouts are unknown at this time. It was 30 years ago, after all. I myself don't recall seeing any fish in either the Plumpton Place or the Horselunges Manor moat. What about the stories of Led Zeppelin considering themselves top fisherman whenever they stayed at the Edgewater Inn in Seattle? I know Bonzo fancied himself a top fisherman and was very proud of his fishing exploits as was Jimmy (from what I have read). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I too have read of Jimmy's fishing expeditions but he was no where near any body of water, just the bodies of young women and he didn't use a fishing pole, just Richard Cole.

SteveAJones Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Overhead shot of Plumpton Place. Those ten round trees alongside the front walkway were planted after Jimmy sold the property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura_Page Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 It's a wonderful place. Many times I wonder why does Jimmy always seems to love living near the water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluecongo Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 You should look up water as it relates to the practice of majick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's a mix of things Well, I'm sticking to the tranquility thing, as should all the others. That majick thing is just overlooking the fact that he probably likes water and the sea... i don't know, but the house looks really nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzamatt Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 No wonder Jimmy was so inspired with his music; he must have been overtly motivated to play and compose-, living in the house like that! Not to mention Boleskine and Tower... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadecatcher Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Lovely setting and architecture. As a homeowner though, I'd wonder a tad about rising damp with all that water surrounding the house. Basements aren't that popular in England though, right?

Cookie0024 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 This is about five minutes away from where I live, it's a great house if you ever get chance to drive past. It wouldn't surprise me if Vera Lynn did try to get Jimmy Page evicted, she's not the most popular figure in Ditchling at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
