For no special reason I got momentarily interested in Miffy Marsh, a channel 9 (mainly, though also a 7 and ABC) presenter who spent fifty years of her life as partner to Ernie Carroll, and no doubt doing many other things as well though I don't know what. Part of me being interested was discovering that she and her policeman husband Arthur lived in Box Hill. Since I had to go to Box Hill yesterday anyway, I figured I should spend a little moment checking out what a 1960s tv star's house looked like. They lived in at least two places, around the corner from each other. The above is the house listed in the 1960 Sands and MacDougall as Arthur Marsh's house. This is probably the house where Arthur 'pushed' Miffy to audition as a presenter. Below is the house they lived in when he died, in 1972, of causes presently unknown to me (it wasn't reported in the papers - ?!).
