When we bought this house, there were boxes of mysterious deeds to houses other than this one, we tried to find one or two in close vicinity but none could be found…
Hadlow Street.
The man stood under the lamp on the corner of Hadlow Street every night at 10pm, face hidden, stayed for five minutes and left.
From his grimy bed sit window, Evan had watched for months - tonight curiosity got the better of him.
He crossed the street, ‘Have you a light?’ He asked.
Producing an ancient, handwritten document from his pocket, his face, older than Evan had ever seen before, the man looked up and said, ‘I’ve waited many moons to give you this Evan’
It read; Bequeathed to Evan Thomas, No’s 1, through 9 Hadlow Street, London.
Dated, July 1694.
