Thanks Hepburn - some nice photos - what we really need now is a quality photo of the extended Woodcroft.

Staffordshire / Re: Eversley House, Leek

Thanks Chempat for all your info on this and apologies for the delay in responding. The sketch looks interesting and obviously concerns the development of Eversley Ave. Presumably the houses shown were at the back of 64 St Edwards Str. somewhere. I wonder who it was drawn for and for what purpose.

Thanks for the above background info on the Sleighs. However my main interest is in the house. If No. 64 is now a hotel then is this the same building that was previously called 'Eversley'. My understanding is that 'Eversely House' was demolished in the 1920s/1930s. I am wondering whether 'Eversely' and 'Eversely House' were two different buildings? Also notable that the lodge to Eversely House was at 24 Broad Street which had a drive along side it presumably up to the main house.
Not thought about Bednall - thanks for the suggestion.

Hi Jane
It was me who started the Woodcroft posts and I have sent you a Personal Message (I hope!). Henry Davenport's mother, Carolyn Osborne was a relative of mine so I guess we are some kind of distant cousins. Is the Woodcroft booklet a one-off or do others exist? I have a lot of info on the Davenports which I would be happy to share with you. I am in contact with Neil Collingwood who is responsible for the Post and Times article and he and I would love to see your 'Woodcroft' publication. We would willingly pay for a commercial copy to be made or travel to where your parents live in order to scan the document - we really, really would like to see the publication. Hope we can work something out.

Staffordshire / Eversley House, Leek
« on: Sunday 22 October 17 01:26 BST (UK) »
Hi
I believe that there used to be an Eversley House behind the St Edward Street end of the northern side of Broad Street Leek. I think the house was quite substantial and had a lodge on Broad Street. I believe that the house was demolished in the early part of the last century and the land redeveloped to form the Eversley avenue estate which is there today. Does anyone have any info at all about the house or its owners and in particular any photos. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Andavid
Thanks for your interest in this. Unfortunately I don't think it is the house that was just called 'Woodcroft'. As you mention, there was also a Woodcroft Grange and Woodcroft House and possibly others in the same area so I am thinking it is probably one of these.
Thanks again
Regards

Hi
My mother lived at 16 and 18 Broad Street Leek 1910 to 1920. Unfortunately these are two of the properties that were demolished in the redevelopment of that bit of Broad Street. Has anyone got a photo showing these original properties or is able to direct me to a possible source. Any help will be much appreciated.
