Penrose Cottage, Carnynge Road. Walter Savage Landor, who wintered in Clifton in the 1820s, briefly lived here and was visited by Southey. His outrageous temper made residence in England difficult. On one occasion, he threw his cook out of the window breaking his arm. Landor only regretted the action once he remembered the violets were beneath that window. Charles Dickens based Boythorn from Bleak House on Landor.
