This is one of a number of roads in this part of Bristol named after peers, in this case the 6th Duke of Northumberland, (1810 – 1899), who was for a time the Lord Privy Seal. The Lord Privy Seal dealt with the then monarch’s personal – privy – seal, so I don’t really suppose that he had any inkling of a road being named after him! As usual, the Luftwaffe endeavoured to destroy houses in the area, but, as usual without much success! It has been divided into two units and my Client is getting the larger property, but it is in a quiet road, apart from the ‘park and ride’ commuters and their cars, and was in reasonably good condition.   more »
