Finally Beatles in the Wood,
This has appeared just after the release of the Scorsese documentary about the Beatles George Harrison.
Link from The Beatles Bible, referring to The Wood and the release of George Harrison single, also the first anniversary party of Apple records previously mentioned by Jonathan Lydon.

The Hat Trick would be further confirmation of an interview with John Lennon and Brian Epstein.(1967) held again at the Wood while rented to a media company.

This lovely thread has taken me down Memory Lane. Those photos are just as I remember the house. My grandmother Ernestine Bishop worked at The Wood for many years, until the house was handed over I imagine. She was Alan Lyddon’s secretary. My brother and I would go over and play in the house and garden. There was a secret passage that went from Ernestine’s office area to the conservatory. It was probably just the coal storage area but it was very exciting and very like a secret passage to two little children. We were at the Beatles party too. My brother also once fell out of a tree in the garden and broke his leg. That wasn’t so good!
