Does anyone know anything about the time the great author spent in Bournemouth.

Where did he live/stay ?

Thanks in advance...

 

You'll probably get some answers here

 

That site is cool for dedicated LOTR people, but I dont know what they are on about in their elfisah speak etc.

Thanks anyways though Corradoboy.

Tolkien spent some of his last years in Bournmouth. His wife Edith liked the Miramar Hotel and holidayed there in the late 50s and early 60s. from 1968 to the end of 1971 the tolkiens moved to bornemouth (19 Lakeside Road)from their Oxford home in Sandfield Road. he moved back to oxford after his wife died in september 1971
