Jimmy Edwards.
********************
There has been a recent
enquiry on Cookham.com as to a local celebrity Diana Dors who made her home
near Boulters Lock. This triggered my thoughts to others of film, stage and
radio that use to frequent Cookham and enjoy a drink in one of the village’s
thirteen public houses. It was during the filming of Jerome K. Jerome’s “Three
Men in a Boat.” That one would find the actor Jimmy Edwards propping up the bar
in The Ferry after a day’s shooting along Cliveden Reach. If my memory serves
me correct this was in 1956. There are many others of stage, film and radio who
made frequent visits to Cookham during their professional careers.
