[Bethnal Green document] Assignment
of House & Bakery in Hare Street
This 1894 deed assigns the lease of 32 Hare Street from George Joseph
Pfisterer to Jacob Frederick Schnabel - both were bakers. Included in the
transaction was the 'goodwill, chattels and property.....in conjunction with the business
of a baker.....'. With the assignment comes a very dilapidated fire insurance
certificate dating from 1863 - the Pfisterers had had quite a long association with 32
Hare Street. The two items (ref 524/70) £10.00 post-free Not for export
[Bloomsbury documents] Deeds to 68
Torrington Square
Owned by the Duke of Bedford, a plot of land was leased to builder James Sim
who built in about 1822/1823 what was to become known as 68 Torrington Square
(in 1882 described as being 'on the West side of Torrington Square being the
second house northwards from the entrance from Torrington Square to Torrington
Mews'). Here you have the opportunity to acquire the very earliest deeds
chronicling successive lessees from 1823 to 1903 (George Sim, William Shaw,
Benjamin Whinnell Scott, Thomas Greenwood, Charles Augustus Sachtleben, Hannah
Ham, Campbell Boyd, Avis Dawson). Latter documents would seem to suggest
the Duke of Bedford had been forgotten about, unless such leases were in reality
sub-leases. Altogether there are 13 items, 5 of them on parchment, and
include such gems as the original 99-year lease of 1822 and an 1883 order to do
away with the cesspool and install proper drainage. (ref 229/2)

[Brompton document] Mortgage of
Properties in Sydney Place and Onslow Square
In passing, this 1869 deed tells the story of 5 Sydney Places and no's 32, 35
& 37 Onslow Square from 1844 when they were owned by the trustees of Smith's Charity
(set up following the death of Henry Smith). From 1865 the properties increasingly
became the concern of Rev James McConnel Hussey and Lawrence James William Hussey, both of
Brixton, and this 1869 mortgage brought their borrowing against the properties to the best
part of £5000. Lengthy deed in manuscript on 4 large parchment sheets, the backs of
3 of them used to record 3 subsequent deeds. Interesting to see that the owners of
the Onslow Square properties had the right to walk about in the communal but private
garden there, and have a key to the gate. (ref 524/66) £15.00

These deeds and papers principally
concern 5 Manchester Terrace, which together with no's 2, 3 & 4 was the subject
of a 98-year lease drawn up in 1847. This deed bears a very useful
hand-coloured front view of the four 4-storey properties with shop fronts, also
a ground plan. It would appear the properties were sold piecemeal in 1880
- certainly they were put up for sale as amongst the paperwork is a printed
document giving details of the forthcoming sale - this document is quite fragile
and should be unfolded with care. The paperwork also includes a couple of
orders for repairs, both dated 1943, likely to be catching up with maintenance
but there may be a degree of war damage. By this time the property had
become known as Greville Mews. In all there are 4 parchment and 10 paper
items - though some of the paper items are quite small. The properties are
variously described as being in the Edgware Road or Kilburn High Road. The

From the description we'd say this concerns a block of land of perhaps 9 or 10
acres between the Bath Road and the Colne or one of its branches. This particular
copy was at the sale - it was used to record the bidding progression and the
successful bidders (Rummell and Heath) for each of the 4 lots. Paper, 4 printed sides approx
