Patrick Moore's house

A visit to Selsey, West Sussex this week gave me the opportunity to see Farthings, the house of Patrick Moore. Added bonus: a collection of memorabilia at The Sir Patrick Moore Pavilion of the Selsey Cricket Club.

Memorabilia from Patrick Moore's home office on display at the Selsey Cricket Club.
