HISTORICAL NOTE: the Bayshill Estate was developed by a joint
stock company which purchased land from the Skillicorne family
in 1837 which was bankrupt by c1845. Onley bought much
Bayshill property including the Royal Old Wells, and so
Pevsner suggests that other houses in Bayshill Road were built
to his designs.
