The other Who?, the blue plaque is indeed for Alan Rawsthorne, well done roslyn.
And where is the little thatched cottage?

From http://www.musicweb.uk.net/rawsth/belcher1.htm"Apart from the installation of a blue plaque at Sykeside House, Haslingden, marking the childhood home of Rawsthorne, the [Rawsthorne] Trust secured the erection of a further memorial plaque at Sudbury Cottage, Little Sampford, in conjunction with Essex County Council . This was where, from 1953, the composer completed many of his major compositions and those of his maturity. Of his move to Little Sampford he said "I moved to Essex, not as an escape from the city, nor as a romantic search for roots but to provide an environment for more sustained creative writing than I had hitherto found in London apartments." So I guess it's one or the other, and knowing Haslingden, I suspect it must be Little Sampford... |

It ought to be Walton, Ischia ('the Oldham of the South') but I think I've only seen pictures of the garden before rather than the house itself.

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

Neither is Ischia, John!! But either way, it doesn't look like any part of Oldham I ever saw ... |
