£1 million home sold nearly 20 years after
Dawson’s death

Dawson’s home has been untouched since
the likeable Northern comedian died in 1993.  The property and its contents are now being sold by trustees
acting for the TV star’s estate now his widow Tracy and daughter Charlotte have
moved out.

The Daily
Mail reports that ‘His giant personality was very much in evidence
throughout the family home in the Lancashire seaside resort, filled with bright
colours and items like his baby grand piano sitting proudly in the living room
and his study exactly as he left it.’

Property’s
contents also for sale

As well as the £1 million home, the
contents of Dawson’s home are all for sale.  Ornaments are priced from £7.50 but also include more
expensive items such as artwork, mirrors and even Dawson’s bed.

His daughter Charlotte said: “It is a
wrench to part with all of this but we are sure it will go to good homes.”

A local furniture store is looking after the sale of the
property’s contents.  A spokesman
for Blackpool’s Febland Warehouse said: “Les’s big house has been sold and we
have been entrusted with the sale of the beloved contents.

“The main items are mainly Italian
baroque. We are sure that everyone would like a little piece of Les.”

Mr Dawson died tragically in 1993
during a routine check-up at a Manchester hospital.  Aged just 62, he collapsed after a heart attack when his
daughter was a just baby.
