HISTORY: On the 1817 Tithe Map this area was in the ownership of Lord Pelham and shown as stables and gardens. The land then passed to the Lucas Shadwell family. On the 1841 Census, Nelson Reed, Blacksmith is shown inhabiting a property in Old London Road Ore and in a document of 1844 the cottage and land (obviously well-established by this date) were bought from William Drew Lucas Shadwell by Nelson Reed and was henceforward known as Nelson Cottage. The cast iron windows and railings could have been made by the family business.
