No. 2 at No. 11[edit]

Having seen (via Google Earth, what an age we live in) 'The Pines, Putney' I now understand why Beerbohm called his reminiscence 'No. 2'. It was a semi-detached dwelling, located at Number 11, and Watts and his household occupied the right-hand half. The address, then, would today be 'The Pines', 2/11 Putney Hill, Putney, SW15 6BA. Watts-Dunton was rather like Dr Johnson in his giving house-room to the needy, whatever the nature of their need. However did they all fit into that modest accommodation? From Beerbohm's description, Swinburne had room for a library to rival the British Museum. Bluedawe 19:42, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
