The Errol Flynn Blog

Yes, he was! This pic was taken in Stanley Park, Vancouver, Canada, at a spot that still exists. You can’t see it, but a hallway is behind the group leading to a race track and beyond it are the cricket fields where they played. The vine covered Sylvia Hotel is not far, where Errol stayed, and across the street from the hotel is English Bay where he would have no doubt visited. This is the same bay that he would have seen from the penthousr apartment at 1310 Burnaby Street on the day he sufferred his fatal heart attack October 14, 1959. Walking along the beach, that apartment is justa 14 minute walk via Beach Avenue and Burnaby Street. I’ve visited the playing fields, and made that stroll several times over the years.
