Sale of Brunswick Villa, Brunswick Street

 

This is an indenture for a sale of a property in my collection dated 19 June 1919, for a freehold property called Brunswick Villa, Brunswick Street.

From my collection

 

The steps at right are the last remains of this end of Chant's Path. The house in this photograph, was built on the eastern part of the freehold plot referred to in the 1825 Indenture. It is likely that this is the house known to have been built on this plot by William Saint, called Brunswick Villa.

Aldondale Gardens, opposite, is the last remains of Addlewell Lane seen on both the 1806 and 1831 maps above.
