I've just been looking through the pack of documents we received relating to our house after paying off the morgage.
The land comprising of 50 16'x157' plots was bought by a builder in 1909 for £3,480, part of the conditions of sale were that no building could be used as an alehouse, brewhouse, ciderhouse or brothel. Our house was sold for £375 in 1927 and stayed in the same ownership untill 1968 when it was sold for £2,500. The next time it was sold was 1992 and it had jumped to £56,000, we bought it in '97 for £59,950.
