RichardB Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Excellent, not sure I know the Peartree; the African Prince I think is recorded in the Town Accounts, gave him £55 or some such. Would be nice to have a name, a good date, a reason why an African Prince would visit ... Thank you, I don't have 1774 Directory, is that Sketchleys, or are they curtain dry-cleaners ?

I never took notice who's directory but I'll have a look next time round. I believe there was a Peartree on Woodside Lane sometime or other.
