Tudor Close, Rottingdean: A Snapshot of History and Celebrity This enchanting photograph captures the charm of Tudor Close in Rottingdean, a picturesque coastal village in East Sussex, England. Circa 1929, the scene unfolds before us with an outside bench nestled under the quaint window of a Tudorbethan-style property. This residence, with its rich history and timeless beauty, served as the inspiration for the beloved board game Cluedo. The Tudorbethan architecture, a revival of the Tudor period's grand style, is evident in the half-timbered walls, steeply pitched roof, and ornate window designs. The property's captivating allure drew the attention of Hollywood's elite, including Cary Grant, Bette Davis, and a young Julie Andrews, who frequented the location during their visits to England. As the sun casts dappled shadows on the cobblestone street, we can almost hear the gentle hum of conversation and laughter that once filled the air. The tranquil ambiance of Tudor Close, with its historic charm and celebrity connections, continues to captivate visitors and dreamers alike. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of a bygone era and the enchanting stories that lie hidden within the walls of this remarkable property.
