Belinda Grove

This is the life history of a beautiful old London house called Belinda Grove. It was built in 1815 in the mad and merry days of the Regency by a visionary constructor who thought its ploughed fields might soon be fashionable boulevards. It was bought by a notorious friend of the Regent who housed in it a discreet gambling establishment presided over by his decorative mistress, Belinda Flower. It witnessed a strange murder and many vicissitudes. Through all its changes from fashionable country house to disreputable slums, the spirit of the kindly old blue-coated sea captain who lay murdered in the garden watched over it and singled out its tenants for his protection.
