DOCUMENTS THAT NEED TRANSCRIBING AND SUMMARISING

1855 After Auction Hartley and John Murgatroyd sold the two cottages on High Street (part of Sayles Shop) to Joseph Sutcliffe.

DOCUMENTS FULLY TRANSCRIBED AND SUMMARISED

The Sale of Cottages 1831

These 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'sand was originally a garden.

The Purchase of the Cornmill Millpond 1952

In 1952 George and Sarah Lucas 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.
