| ==The 1831 Sale of Cottages==
| |
|
| |
| These [[Media:1831_Sale_of_Cottages.pdf|two cottages on High Street]] overlooking the Millpond are now the two-storey part of 76-77 High Street. The three-Storey section, now the main part of the house was built in the 1890's and was originally a garden.

| '''SUMMARY'''<br>
| |
| Joseph Sutcliffe, shopkeeper is buying property from Hartley and John Murgatroyd for £282 and10 shillings and is getting a mortgage from Joseph Starkey and George Edwards to help to pay for this.
| |
|
| |
| The properties being bought are:<br>
| |
| 1) A newly built house which is in front of the Murgatroyd Arms. This is the house now known as Broad Flags. This building was occupied by James Howarth.<br>
| |
| 2) The buildings behind The Murgatroyd Arms which contain a house and a shop occupied by Joseph Sutcliffe. Also outbuildings including an out kitchen and a coal shed which were used by The Murgatroyd Arms.<br>
| |
| 3) A small garden to the south of the house against High Street of about 133 square yards.
| |
|
| |
| The house, shop and garden is the area now covered by 76-77 High Street.
| |
|
| |
| It looks like the Murgatroyds’ already have a mortgage on this property with Joseph Starkey (or they owe him money) and this mortgage is being transferred to Joseph Sutcliffe.
| |
|
| |
| The mention of ‘One Thousand Pounds and Interest’ refers I think to the will of Hartley and John’s father which left provision for Judith (their sister) and which Hartley and John must allow for (and in selling the Cornmill Upper Mill this responsibility passed on to The Thompsons)
| |
|
| |
| The new mortgage is secured by Joseph Starkey and George Edwards.
| |
| The yearly rent payable to the Lord of the Manor is left blank.

| ==The Purchase of the Cornmill Millpond 1952==
| |
| In 1952 George and Sarah Lucas [[Media:1951_Abstract_of_the_Title_of_Stuarts_.pdf| bought the Millpond]] from Stuarts of Sowerby Bridge (this may have been the holding company for Lindley's, the nut and bolt manufacturer).
| |
|
| |
| This document is interesting because it shows how The Cornmill (the millpond being part and parcel of this property) bought by Robert Thompson in the 1850's was left to his wife, but on her death all the heirs named in her will had died as had the heirs of her heirs. The mill passed to Robert's next closest relatives, his two sisters Julia Horsfall and Mary Thompson.
