Kim Cattrall's visit…..
Golden Gobe winner, Hollywood and Sex and the City star Kim Cattrall called in for lunch at The Green Tree - 1727, 28 May 09 while filming the final episode of the BBC 1 popular series "Who Do You Think You Are ? "


Actress Kim explained that her grandfather suddenly left his Liverpool home abandoning her grandmother and his grandchildren “it has always been a mystery to our family why he would do this and I’m grateful for the opportunity to trace his life after he left the family home”. Her grandfather’s surprising story will be shown on BBC 1 and leaves a trail of bigamy which in part leads to Tudhoe Village were Kim Cattrall’s grandfather settled down in small miner’s cottage in Welsh Row (currently The Green Tree car park).



The Green Tree worked with the BBC to research the story and was able to produce photographs of her grandfather’s actual home.

Kim Cattrall’s grandfather left her mother Shane and sisters when she was only eight years old and she recalled her mother’s memories of her father tapping on the window beckoning her to go with him. The filming was done in strict secrecy and took place over a three hour period, but first everyone had lunch. Miss Cattrall was a lovely and welcome guest, choosing traditional British Cod & Chips!
Landlady Murrie D. Hopson presented a photograph of her grandfather’s cottage to Miss Cattrall who said she would “cherish it” and “couldn’t wait to show it to her mother”.
