1931

Doin' me stuff, as Gracie writes on the rear of the photograph which was taken in 1931. Gracie is quite happy doing her own housework at 'Tower' in Bishops Avenue, Hampstead Heath, London but she hated  the place. She said it felt like a hotel and not the cosy home she had longed for. During her time here the unhappy Gracie ran away to Paris but within 24 hours she had returned. She couldn't let her family or the show down. 

'Tower' the house in The Bishop's Avenue - or Millionaires Row - named after the success of Mr. Tower of London. This mansion was Archie Pitt's dream home but the heartache surrounding the place caused Gracie to set up home on her own.
