Someone mentioned to me, knowing that I am a Led Zeppelin fan, that Jimmy Page's house was on the market. Turns out it's a house he once owned and sold a long time ago, but one that features heavily, as most of his houses do, in Zeppelin lore. I decided to investigate JIMMY'S CRIBS (click to enlarge pics):
Groovy boathouse on the Thames in Pangbourne, Berkshire.
Owned 1967-1973.

I was going to wrap it up with a point of some kind,
but I don't think there is one. "If you're rich, a baller crib"?
If living well is the best revenge, Jimmy Page
is like the Beatrix Kiddo of this here game.

VERY WELL DONE THAT MAN, TOTAL GRAFT WITH GOOD INFO & PIC'S.
Good friggin research
Another of Page's architecturally significant homes that you might find of interest is Deanery Garden in Sonning, Berkshire. It was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens with a garden by Gertrude Jekyll.
Why is there a picture of some swans with an arrow near them, as if they are the loch ness monster or something? Just swans, or geese maybe..
Thank you for this :)
Very crreative post
