You can't stand the Beatles and never a fan of the Stones, wow your in the wrong place.

crawdaddy, I got to live in the place!

Kirk, absolutely!

I completely overlooked that fact.
You are dead right.
A blue plaque on the outside wall now is deserved,but not desirable if you live there maybe.

I remember that you once said you had bought Mick's house, ChezMick. [www.iorr.org]
You know that from now on you will surely receive a lot of visitors. If I ever get back to Dartford, I will show up with a jazz record for you.

You are probably the only person where it is common knowledge,(within IORR), to know where you live.

Don't worry,we will not tell anyone.

''Don't tell them your name Pike''.

THat is amazing, must be a weird feeling knowing that Mick Jagger will have lived in the house. Was it sold with reference to the Jaggers or did you find out after you had already bought it?

Floorbird, I live in Mick Jagger's house, I reckon I am in the right place. If anything I'd have thought you'd try and convert me

Crawdaddy, I've already decided I do want that plaque! And no I'm not too worried about you lot knowing where I live, I'm not the one you're after

Cristiano, nothing against visitors, I guess I have a duty as the Keeper of 'an historical building of great importance'. Watch it though, I might start issuing tickets!!!

_mice, even without being a fan or having grown up 'with the stones' Mick Jagger is huge and I believe he influenced more than just the fans' lives. Like I said, I only found out after I bought and before I moved in... I had to pinch myself

Who is sleeping in Mick's bedroom?

Wow, starting to get creepy already

Eh?

DO you know which room was Mick's?

Well, that's a different question! Your guess is as good as mine.

See if you can relate to Charlie and Keith on these while I try to think of some good homeowner ideas:

Thanks for posting this video with sssoul. I didn't know this cover by Keith. Where is it from?

Just found the album. Thank you

What a great, unexpected story! You know what I'd do if I were you? I'd drop Mick a line and let him know - he might just drop by if you invite him.

Bliss, I know and you're right, I've thought of contacting him but I really don't have a clue on how to go about it and I'd have to wait til more work is done as it's quite messy now!

Yeah! you should invite Mick and Chris. Sure they´ll be there some time or another.
Remember some years ago, Keith did actually visit his old home in Dartford and was very nice with the owners, etc

stonesrule, thank you, I only knew they moved to Wilmington. Do you know the address? I'd love to take a walk there in this nice weather
On a side note I recently got all the paperwork for the house back from the solicitors and it was amazing to see all the previous owners including Basil Jagger!

Amazing! He was the owner from when to when?

"Continue on, passing The Close, where one of Wilmington's most famous residents ,Mick Jagger,lived as a child..."

Not sure if The Close is the name of the road or the house.

Maybe this can help you, feel free to ask me whatever you want, I went to Dartford 2 years ago.

Hi everybody,
I am busy renovating 39 Denver Road for me and my family and I am looking for 1) any ideas you may have 2) any help you may give
Thanks in advance

Nice place you have there (see link)

I'd put a Palm tree in the front yard with a light on it!

Also, convince the next door neighbor to put the Dish in the back yard...

[maps.google.co.uk]

Thank you all, people!

Bliss, I might just do that when I'm ready!

Gotdablouse, I'll check the papers again and I'll let you know but I know Mick lived here from birth til about 11

Green Lady, The Close is actually the street. I still don't know which house!

Benstones, thank you, your post was the first I came across when I started researching 'my' house

2000 LYFH, is the palm tree and light a reference to something?? Not while my front garden is in a state!!

I found it in one of the biographies - the house in Wilmington is "Newlands" - or it was when Mick lived there. Might not be called that now.

Thank you Green Lady, that's brilliant. I'll take a walk in my lunch break tomorrow and see if I can confirm :-)

...hey Chez try and get ya renovations on Grand Designs ...



ROCKMAN

Wow. Have you thought of contacting Micks office somehow to invite him to see his old house?

No Jagger reference, but there is a Keith reference so the story goes! Maybe I misunderstood you, were you asking for ideas how to fix up your house in general?

The stained glass is real nice. Is it still there?


Check out the Dartford sites here:

ChezMick, it's just a wonderful thing that you are lucky to experiment !
as a fan, I envy you.
Now, all you need is to buy Stones cds and maybe become a Rolling Stones fan.
You could try first with Black and Blue album cos there is one jazzy number called Melody.

Thanks for the tips guys!

I'm carrying on with the work and I just got a nice surprise: 8 guys showed up at the door just half hour ago. Fans all the way from Argentina here for the Hyde Park concert. I didn't let them in as the wall paper is being stripped and it's a mess but I drove them all to the Central Park to see the new statue which they didn't know about!

By the way, I did watch the Glastonbury show on tv and I now understand what all the fuss is about.... they're unbelievable!! I was watching it with my woman and we were both tripping with the idea that we were watching Mick in his own lounge

2000LYFH there are now two palm trees (plants) in the front garden but I still wanna know what the reference is?! And yes, stained glass is still there and we love it so it's gonna stay

Amazing !!!

I didn't know this house would be on sale, i thought it would somehow be owned by a council or a museum or whatever...
