Affectionately known by locals in Clifton, Bristol, as 'Pooh Corner', the terraced property which is situated near to the iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge, dates back to around 1790 and was previously frequented by author AA Milne in the early 1920s.
Martin Haigh from estate agents Haigh, who are listing the now two-bedroom house for £675,000, said it is believed to be the place where "Winnie-the-Pooh was born". “Sadly, the painting was sold around 25 years ago and is now in a museum in Winnipeg, Canada," he added. In October 2000, the oil painting of the bear – painted by EH Shepard in the 1930s – went on sale and was purchased by a group of people from Winnipeg for more than £124,000.First appearing by name in a children's Christmas story by AA Milne in the London Evening News in 1925, Winnie-the-Pooh was inspired by a toy bear belonging to Milne’s son, Christopher Robin.
