7 Wilbury Crescent
They were truly local artists. Charles went to the Brighton School of Art, and apart from a period in Paris studying under Jacques-Emile Blanche, lived at 7 Wilbury Crescent for over 50 years until his death in 1956. Averil his wife had died in 1949. Veronica was still occupying no.7 up until 1966.
