Andrea B Posted June 30, 2022 Author Share Posted June 30, 2022 Thanks! Where did you find this?? I'm looking for 8 Castle Yard, Sylvester Gardens. I know there's the Arundel Castle pub so wondered if it was next to that? Thanks again A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmund Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 The yard behind the Arundel Castle Inn had several dwellings in it (see SteveHB's map). The newspapers reported the address of people living in these dwellings as being "Arundel Castle Yard". However in the 1861 census, the addresses were just described as "Yard", although they followed the entry for the Arundel Castle pub. However they were not close to Sylvester Gardens - and not really close to Sylvester Lane which was nearer. There were no house numbers quoted in 1861, but heads of households were: Mary Scott, Charles Blackburn, Jesse Johnson, John Lindley, George Dewsnap, Thomas Bowling, John Heatlie, Joseph Smith. In 1871 the address was given as Arundel Street Court 5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
