Peter Denton has added a photo to the pool:
This bust of Sir Noël Coward, the playwright, composer, director, actor and singer, was sculpted by Avril Vellacott and greets everyone who visits Teddington Library in Waldegrave Road. Which is quite fitting really, because not far along the road, at number 131, is the house where 'The Master' was born on 16 December 1899. In an accomplished life, Coward wrote more than 50 plays - some of his best-known being Blithe Spirit, Hay Fever, Private Lives and The Vortex. Among his musical compositions were London Pride, Mad Dogs and Englishmen, Mad About the Boy and, of course, Don't Put Your Daughter on the Stage. Mrs Worthington. As an actor, he appeared in a variety of films such as Our Man in Havana, Around the World in Eighty Days and The Italian Job.
