Garden Cottage (pictured), the house said to appear on the cover of Pink Floyd’s “A Collection of Great Dance Songs” (1981), has sold at auction for £215,000.
But, contrary to prior reports, the structure in Dungeness, Romney Marsh, is not the house from the album cover.
The Folkestone Herald reports Trevor Bunney of Dungeness says,”This cottage is not the cottage on the album, which is actually called Seagull Cottage. It’s situated further north just off of the Dungeness estate in between The Pilot public house and Kerton Road bridge.
Seagull Cottage is no longer in existence as it was destroyed by fire in the early 1980s. If you look to the right on the album cover you can just make out the houses over Kerton Road bridge, I know this for a fact as a kid I played in Seagull Cottage when it was derelict.”
The property was expected to go for £160,000.
