I new about Burges from a visit to Cardiff Castle, but I've had to do a bit of research on the London property and I've come up with The Tower House in Kensington, former home of Burges, also Richard Harris and now I believe owned by Jimmy Page.

You got it Ruth just done a bit of Googling. Richard Harris bought it 1970 for £75K and then sold t0 Jimmy Page 1972 for £350K..... some profit eh? although he had done a lot of restoration work on it

According to where I got that info from, £350,000 would be todays equivalent of about £3.4 milion

Well I won't be buying that then, not that I'd ever want to live in London.

Here we go, this one should be pretty straightforward.

I am generally orange in colour, sometimes yellow, I'm normally divided into 5 sections and I'm quite a common sight.
