REYNOLDS PARK LODGE Church Road (continued):

Owners and Occupiers:

This lodge is dated 1888 and we have no information about there being an earlier building on the site, so it is from that date we look for occupiers. The lodge was built for Mrs Cope, then living at Reynolds Park, the R.V. was £12, and the first mention of an occupier comes from the M.W. Rates Book of 1891 which shows James Wilcox coachman who remained until 1907 when his place was taken by John Liptrott, also a coachman who lived there till 1921. From the Directory we see that the next occupier was Arthur Westbrook, a chauffeur who lived here until at least 1926. In 1932 Alexander McMullin a clerk was here.

Postscript

Now we have come to the end of our walk, and hope you have enjoyed it!

These notes, we are conscious, are not great literature, though they have their moments. They are, however, and with our last year's notes for Beaconsfield Road, a quarry of information (badly in need of an Index) and will, we hope, be used as such.
