[alderjones]

Would be interested in any info on Ormson and Gray ,Horticultural Builders of Kings Road Chelsea in
19th century. Have found various references via Google to buildings and equipment they built also
the dissolving of partnership.
 Where in Kings Road was the site? When did the firm start and close? (Henry Ormson died 1860)
All info gratefully received
