A Bristol house built the year Queen Elizabeth II came to the throne - and owned by the same family ever since - is up for sale. The property in Knowle is on the market for the first time since it was built in 1952, the same year as the Queen’s Coronation.
With the nation gearing up to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee, the sale of the house is particularly timely. When the owners of the three-bedroom property in Melbury Road moved in 70 years ago, Winston Churchill was Prime Minister and children’s TV show Flower Pot Men was aired for the first time.
