Springdale Rd is in Broadstone, Dorset and both houses are on Google maps. There's a very large camper van in the drive of the house that separates them. Phone number went from many years of  Broadstone 331 to Broadstone 3331 in the 60s.  Oddly, he was still listed in the phone book 20 years after he'd passed away !  I guess whoever survived him at that address never bothered to inform BT thus the phone bills must have been arriving in his name for nearly 2 decades after his death. Maybe as their records now implied he was nearly 110 years old, they got a bit suspicious eventually ???? 

Prior to 1934, the Rev F C de Beauvais is shown at the Thorne Rectory on the Yeovil telephone exchange. 

Seems to me the person to ask about that house is Nicholas Mander. 

What I'd meant Joanna was, seeing as Nicholas Mander has written a book about large Cotswold houses, you might like to drop him a line for anything he might be able to add.

That house isn't in Thorne, a very tiny village north of Yeovil. But we can see it was c.1934 that the Rec F C moved from there to Broadstone and c1952, he then moved two doors away.  I thought it was Robin E. who never bothered to notify BT and left the phone account in his fathers name. Perhaps it was c.1982 he moved----say to a nursing home?--- and the phone account was then closed, never revealling it was Robin paying the bill for the past 20 years. 

I thought you lived in Zanzibar oddly enough. 

I beleive Robin died 1996/6 he died at his own home never moved out a recluse he was in his 80's.

How did you know I lived in Zanzibar? We should be in the Saturday Times Travel section tomorrow re: Kasha Hotel with us managing it.

 I will send this picture to Nicholas and ask him good idea and let you know if there is joy.

Indeed Joanna, today a double-page spread in The Times about Zanzibar and your hotel mentioned. Looks a lot sunnier than England!  No personal names mentioned bar Freddie Mercury being born there, and explorers such as Stanley and Livingston get a mention.

 Besides the main sandy beach photo from Getty library, one of your hotel showing the villas and beach beyond.  

Oh thank you my husband checked on line this morning it did not seem to be there today we will look again or maybe it will show up by tomorrow. Have sent the photograph to Nicholas Mander I await his reply. 

It's in the Weekend section pages 26-27; not the main newspaper itself. Written by Tom Chesshyre.

The photos reminded me of what a friend of mine enjoys doing; traveling the Indian and Pacific Oceans photographing holiday resorts similar to Zanzibar. He left just this morning for Lanzarote' to photograph volcanoes for a change.

Here's one of his of Aitutaki lagoon, Cook Islands; similar style to the Zanzibar photo the Times used for the main photo.
