This road was named after the third Duke of Richmond and Gordon, my sources advise me, a distinguished general and a member of Pitt’s government in 1783. Such a notable man, however, would unlikely to have lived in this rather small one bedroomed flat that, as a whole was half of one floor. There was not much room to swing a cat; I tried! The building as a whole, however, was in fairly good condition. It is a Grade II Listed Building that has a good roof and masses of lead on it, all of which was correctly laid - good! The walls were not too distressed, despite a bomb exploding close by in the last war. However a certain amount of damp was evident on the side wall and repairs had been made to the rear. The flat is let out and needs some "TLC" after which, well perhaps another notable man, or woman may live there, perhaps my client???   more »
