USA Posts daydreamer Moderator Posted - 06/10/2006 : 20:10:08 Well, we know she loved Brazil and 'Carnival' and I remember hearing many times that Rome was a favourite too. Obviously is later years Ireland and in particular her "healing place" Cregg Castle. I have a few pictures taken there that I'll post soon.

It was not unusual to see Dusty in the shops and restaurants on Columbus Avenue. Gypsy Rose Lee I ve got a good thing Posted - 08/10/2006 : 14:42:34 dustyspringfield.info/ /topic.asp?ar 6/14

8 Thanks everyone! This is Dusty and the Springfields recording studio in the 60's, Stanhope house, the Walker brothers also recorded there, and many others who were on the Philips label. (from what I've read the recordings were in the basement, which I'm guessing was really the lower ground floor, seen above) Edited by - on 08/10/ :45:53 Mads Posted - 08/10/2006 : 14:47:01 Thats a really nice building and street eh? Thanks again! Love Mads xxx Australia 3323 Posts I ve got a good thing Posted - 09/10/2006 : 18:22:29 You're welcome Mads!...here's a few views of venues where Dusty performed (and another of Stanhope house, when I was there I stood for a while and imagined all the lovely Dusty music being made in that room!) 1. The Royal Albert Hall 2. Stanhope house, looking at what I guess is the basement studio 3. Shepherd's Bush Empire 4. London Palladium dustyspringfield.info/ /topic.asp?ar 8/14

11 Do you live close to all these places or do you just drive like a crazy person to all the Dusty sites you know of?!? Love Mads xxx Australia 3323 Posts daydreamer Moderator Posted - 10/10/2006 : 16:32:31 I remember the Shepherds Bush Empire from one day back in July 1967, last show, Dusty's second series. Spent a little time in the alley at the side (that happened so often back then!)waiting for the star of the show to appear. She didn't, at least not till later, but Madeline came out to keep us company. That's me, leaning on the wall, looking moody 5404 Posts Carole x I ve got a good thing Posted - 10/10/2006 : 18:19:37 quote: Originally posted by Mads Do you live close to all these places or do you just drive like a crazy person to all the Dusty sites you know of?!? Love Mads xxx 5309 Posts Hi Mads!...I live approx 30 miles directly to the East of Central London (where the River Thames meets the North Sea)so I tend to have a trek round London by Train on a Saturday now and again, I wouldn't drive there though, driving in London is a Nightmare! Great to see your earlier photos again Carole! allherfaces Administrator Posted - 12/10/2006 : 20:05:08 Here's an interior shot of the Churchill Hotel, one of Dusty's favorites.

R B 4205 Posts I ve got a good thing Posted - 13/10/2006 : 18:28:08 I'm sure Dusty would have frequented the Boutiques in London's famous Carnaby Street back in the swingin' 60's!...here's some views of it today...and one of then! the same corner now...

Not exactly the Ritz, but apparently she liked it because of it's big bath!
