An infirm property ?
« on: Saturday 10 July 21 05:16 BST (UK) »
Can anyone make out what this says about John Thompson s property
I read it as information but it could be a farm
In 1875

Are the amounts sale price or a valuation

First three columns

A= Acre
R = Roods
p = Perches

So bottom line is I think.  -  Waste of road and river  -  2 acres

So the land that can’t be used effectively and has no value while the 26 acres 1 rood and 12 perches is valued at 2 shillings and sixpence per acre.   (Well, that’s my interpretation anyway)

Working on the other bit.
It is “part rough” So the rest must be descriptive.

Thanks all
Yes i can see
Very inferior now doesnt sound very appealing does it ?

I wonder if the price was low and if he sold it .
The family were slaters for many generations but his second wife turns up as widowed farmer in 1911
If it's the right john Thompson
