Historical Information

A building is shown on this site on the OS map of 1834 and on that of 1858-60. The house was demolished fairly recently (?c.1990) and a modern estate now covers the general site. The valuation records of 1834 do not refer to the building on this site, which (if a dwelling) was undoubtedly below rateable value.
