ROW TWENTY THREE (Palmer gives no name)
Tooke the Baker's Row, 1826 (Johnson)
From George Street to
Charlotte Street.
There were a few old
houses still in the row in Palmer's time. Row 23 had been demolished prior to
the Row Survey in 1936.
A property in this row
at no. 20, was advertised for auction on 12th. July 1894, at the
"Star" Hotel, by Thomas Cranmer. It was one of thirty residences for
sale upon the death of Mr.William Wright Wright. This is typical of the type of
ownership of row property. Generally a landlord had built up a sizeable
holding, and rented all the property out. Number 20 was a brick and tile built
cottage containing five rooms with cellar and outbuildings. At the time, the
property to the east was owned by Mr. Knowles, and that on the west was owned
by Mr. George. No. 23 was rented by Thomas Stanton at a rent of £6-10s a year,
payable weekly, with the landlord paying the rates.
