Eel Pie Commune

I am trying to find out more about the commune era of the Eel Pie Hotel. Who started it all? How many people lived there? The motivation behind it? What it was like living there...

Also, does anyone remember Colonel Barefoots Rock Garden? Got any stories? Anyone know who Col. B actually was?
