Statement of Interest

Outbuilding of particular interest, good survival of urban vernacular. The land originally belonged to the Bingartree House estate, and the outbuilding served as 3 dwellings, presumably 244 and 246, until condemned in 1959. A piece of wood built into a cupboard of the new house bears the writing "George Gibson 1854", this gentleman being the owner at the time.
