Statement of Interest

B Group with Nos 49 and 53. Wood's map would suggest that there were

3 properties on the land now utilised by Nos 49 and 51. However these buildings appear to date from early 19th century, and Sutter's map, 1856, shows them to be erected. The extension to the rear appears to have been complete at this time.
