Thanks for this. There are a couple of mistakes, and additional facts. The house you showed as the house that Ringo and Maureen moved to (which was called 'Sunny Heights') was not that house. The photo you showed was of the house Ringo and Barbara Bach bought, long after The Beatles' split and after Ringo and Maureen's divorce (and sold a couple of years ago). Also, you probably accidentally said that John Lennon's house was "in Kenwood", when it was actually in Esher, Surrey, and the house was called 'Kenwood'. Interesting facts: Ronnie Wood of The Faces, and now of The Rolling Stones, moved in to the flat for a few weeks when Jimi Hendrix was living there. Norman Pilcher, the policeman who arrested several rock starts for drug offences was later arrested and found guilty of corruption.

[@agustinkafka25]

@@agustinkafka25 Hi Agusto ¡ *HALLOWEEN BEATLE 31/10/21* 🎃 Cinthya Lennon regresó a Almeria(España) en el 2006 a un curso de verano organizado por la Universidad de Almeria con el titulo de: ‘Los Beatles su música y su tiempo’. Cinthya cuenta que en 1966 cuando fué con John,quedó impactada por ver tantas mujeres vestidas de negro, también recordó el convento Cortijo de Santa Isabel donde se alojaron ella y John y reveló que la casa le pareció una especie de “mansión encantada”,en cuyo cuarto de baño John escribió las primeras notas de 'Strawberry Fields Forever'. En sus memorias(su libro JOHN) escribió: _“Ni bien nos instalamos en aquella casa ésta parecía estar encantada,las luces se apagaban los objetos se movían misteriosamente y todos sentimos una presencia extraña.Hicimos una fiesta alli con amigos pero la electricidad se cortó, prendimos velas,alguien empezó a cantar una melodía,de pronto todos estábamos cantando,fué bello,parecía que estábamos en armonía espiritual,a la media hora la luz volvió, y el hechizo se disipó pero se hizo fácil pensar que habíamos sido guiados en la canción por los espíritus de las monjas de aquel convento”_ 🎃

i think rolling stone magazine did a really famous interview with Lennon there. Not the two-part really bitchy one where he lied about a lot of things, rather the first one where he was sitting on the floor with all his old single 45's around him and he was paying them on a cheap record player. that was really a much better interview cause he had no agenda about getting even with Paul McCartney. The picture(s) taken at that time look like the place you're talking about. Nice thing you're doing for ancient Beatle fans like myself to see some of the places in the modern era and what they looked like. thanks, young blood.

Great job! Fascinating! Did Ringo Starr actually own this house and rent it to his friends, or was he just subletting it to them? Also, Tony Bramwell's great book tells how John got word prior to the raid so sent Bramwell to clean the apartment, but Yoko came in and kicked Bramwell out before he was finished! (She may have kept this from John!) So John and Yoko were definitely using heavy drugs there, whether that officer planted more or not.

@@agustinkafka25 It was a bit funny because every time I was reading someone's book and a transition or any trouble hit them, or someone they were talking about, it seemed it was off to Ringo's house they went! So I was kind of wondering how many of the Beatle circle lived there for goodness sake. Thanks for tying it all together!! And finding out that even HE rented it! I guess when Ringo and Maureen had a baby they had to move somewhere larger, but you can hear the reluctance in Maureen's voice. I guess she kind of preferred that neighborhood, so they ended up keeping it in case they wanted to stay there from time to time, still have a base in London. Maureen Starkey stayed good friends with Cynthia Lennon until the end.
