With sincere thanks to Mish Webster, for thinking about me.........

Dear Sir or Madam,

 

I am currently reading A Postillion Struck by Lightning, the first volume of the autobiography of the famous screen actor Dirk Bogarde.  Having browsed your fascinating website in the past, I thought you might be interested to hear of his connection with Perry Barr.  His Flemish grandfather, Aimé Émile van den Bogaerde, was an inveterate traveller, and arrived in England during the 1880s.  While in Worcestershire, he met, fell in love with and married and an English girl named Grace Clark.  The following paragraph is quoted from the book:

 

"She [Grace] firmly refused to live Abroad, embraced the Catholic faith and forced him [Aimé] to buy a large villa in Perry Barr, then a small, pleasant village, just outside Birmingham.  To be near her family one supposes.  They lived very well.  There are photographs of the house, many gabled, with trim lawns and great cedars, coachmen and horses, dogs and maids and my grandmother in vast hats and long silk dresses.  My father was born here in 1892 and spent the first few years of his life, a solitary child, happily enough with his little pony cart, his dogs Sherry, Whiskey and Soda, and my grandfather’s Great Danes.  The favourite of which was called Rosé."

 

The travelling bug however returned and Dirk Bogarde’s grandfather left his wife and son about a decade later.  Another quote from the book:

 

"Some time – and here I get vague because I am lost for the facts – some time in the early 1900’s he went on a journey to London.  He never returned to the sprawling ivy-covered villa in Perry Barr with its cedars and lawns and Converted Catholic mistress, but took ship for South America from whence he was occasionally to write, and send my father photographs of his trips up the Orinoco (he was one of the first white men ever to get as far up as he apparently did) and from the Amazon and various seedy little villages in Brazil."

 

There was a rumour that Bogarde’s grandfather lost the family fortune on a business venture involving importing orchids from South America for sale in England – they apparently rotted and died on arrival at Liverpool.  Bogarde continues:

 

"If this were true or not I do not know: but that was how we were always told that grandfather lost his fortune.  It may well be so, for in 1910 my grandmother was forced to sell up Perry Barr and move, humbly, and in her grief, to a dingy, red-brick house in Bexhill, where she lived a genteel, frugal life bringing up my fatherless parent ."

 

Bogarde does not give the location of his grandparents’ home in Perry Barr, but your website shows that the van den Bogaerde family lived at The Woodlands in 1894.  Unfortunately, although Dirk Bogarde mentions that there are photographs of the house, none have been reproduced in the book (at least not in my paperback edition).

 

It may be that you are already aware of the above.  If so, please accept my apologies for troubling you.  If not, I hope it will be of some interest.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Mish Webster
