Leases and fee farm grants of premises in John’s Place/Mall

Large envelope of leases and fee farm grants of premises in John’s Place/Mall. [The short time-span (1839-49) of the original lettings is a reminder that this street was laid out in memory of the adored second son of the 2nd Earl of Rosse.] The envelope also includes papers relating to the sale of properties in John’s Mall to various purchasers.

Leases of and papers related to premises in or near Main Street, Birr

Half-box of leases of premises in or near Main Street, also called ‘the street of Birr’ or ‘the town street’. This sub-section also includes papers relating to the sale of fee farm grants of Bowes’ Shop (purchased by Mary McLoughlin)
and Griffin’s Bakery (purchased by John and Arthur Joyce), both on Main Street.

Leases of premises in Mellsop/Townsend Street

Envelope of leases of premises in Mellsop Street, the last of them stating that it is now known as Townsend Street. [In date order.] The envelope also includes papers relating to the sale of Townsend Street fee farm grants to Michael Kearns
and Gerard and Evelyn Bell.

Leases of The Green and The Upper Green

Box of leases of The Green and The Upper Green. [Some of the earliest leases of Cumberland Street (see Q/58) state that it was built on The Green, so it is probable that, as building progressed, leases of The Green change names to leases of sundry streets.] The box also includes papers relating to the sale of properties and fee farm grants in Green Street to the Birr Urban District Council and other purchasers.
