I read previously, that before the convalescent home was used in Brighton (1891?) the police did use other places in Brighton for the same purpose.
Does anyone have information on this?
Is it possible the "identification" took place in another establishment in Brighton? Swanson merely assumed it was in the "convalescent home" which was in use when he wrote his marginalia(sp).
If so, many of the lose ends concerning Kosminski can be tied up. |

It would actually appear that there were three different Seaside Homes as such, but they sort of inherited each other, so there was only one at a time.
The last known Seaside Home is now a gay bar but there is still a Seaside home but it is inland now and the cops still moan about the seagulls crapping on their heads while wrestling with their own personal demons. |

Apart from the one at Clarendon Villas there was one in Portland Road Hove but I'm not sure of the number or dates.
Clarendon Villas runs into Portland Road so if the two homes were open at the same time they might have been close together. Portland Road is much longer though. |

Hello All,
If you use the search facility at the beginning of the Message Boards,or look up police officials in the discussion board index, you can locate a previous set of discussions which will answer most of your questions.That thread includes downloaded photos I took of Portland House and 33 Clarendon Villas in June this year.
As to exactly which convalescent homes police used before these two, I think a looser arrangement using existing seaside boarding houses, with an authorised subsidy from Police
convalescent funds existed.
It was at one of these that a sick copper found himself in the bed next to some tearaway he had previously "nicked". Fearing retribution, he moved
elsewhere.
From this incident stemmed the more formal homes at Brighton.
So prior to Clarendon Villas, Brighton was not necessarily the chosen venue for recuperation. |
