Byron Family: Valuations and Property Sales After 1921

This Series covers items relating to the sale of the Coulsdon estate by auction from 1921 onwards. The process took several years. The Series includes sales particulars, plans, maps and how the estate was divided into discrete sales plots.

To acquire a full picture of the sale of the estate, it is necessary to include items from AR1057/8 – Business Correspondence and Estate Management and AR1057/14 – Solicitors Accounts
