Advertisement for the sale of the Holy Island Manor lease and other property on behalf of the creditors of Robert Fall. Sept 1788

Printed leaflet; sale on 22 September 1788 at the Red Lion, Berwick. 2 ½ remaining years of the Crown lease. Also the reversionary lease granted to Fall, to commence in 1791 for 23 ½ years. Fall went bankrupt before this lease could come into effect and trustees acting for his creditors arranged for it to be sold, along with his other property, including 2 cottages with rights of common purchased by George Selby of Billingsgate, who sold one of them to his brother Prideaux; they were allotted adjoining plots of land on the Enclosure Award in 1793. George then sold his cottage and land to Prideaux, who devised them, along with the rest of his estate to his heirs (see HOL 044/005). Annotated with information on the sale of the properties.
