Extract of an interview with sisters Nancy Fitz and Joyce Danes (nee Skelton), maids to Lady Forbes Robertson c.1946/7, describing the night Noel Coward came to dinner.
At this time Lady Forbes Robertson was living in Atcliffe in Granville Road. Noel Coward had a house called White Cliffs on the beach which he used as a weekend and holiday retreat from 1945. He eventually leased all of the properties at the end of the beach.
