my parents have moved to Hythe in Hampshire to retire. It’s a small town by the sea where you can watch the ferries sail from Southampton to the Isle of White and vice-versa. I visited with the kids today and stumbled by this house. In 1931 a certain TE Lawrence moved there, seconded by the RAF to the power boat building yards. (He designed a patrol boat used by the navy for many years). This was all under the name TE Shaw, one of his two attempts to find anonymity after his WW1 heroics.
