History

Later C18 large town house, apparently owned with No 111 until 1869. Known as The Anchorage, occupied in 1926 by Lt Col Carlyle Skinner.
The deeds refer back to 1798 deeds of No 111 from Dudley Ackland via Samuel Jones, James Spencer, James Hunt, to Richard Ormond in 1848 and Mary Ormond (Mary Hill) in 1852. At the 1869 sale of both properties by John Rogers Powell of Haverfordwest and John Jordan of Lamphey Hall, Captain David Aird RN appears to have bought it, having been the tenant since 1856. Sir Robert Paul Bt of Ballyglan, Co.. Wexford and HR Sargent of Pauls Sq,. Waterford, are also named. 1927 owned by Mary and Alice Aird. 1938 sale by Gertrude Treweeks of Cardiff to HR Judd Town Planning Officer, died 1941. The house appears to be of late Georgian date, without the early Georgian features of No 111. A pencilled inscription recording a child's height has been painted over, but was said to be dated 1770 or 1780.
