Abstract

[YES] I am happy to provide full details of any lot to researchers. All lots were sales of the freehold. In addition to the notes made by someone attending the auction, there is a certain amount of Pitman(?) shorthand on the pages which I cannot read. Note: Some of the images and maps refer to multiple lots so there will be duplicate references. By lot number…
