No. 53 is the entrance to St. George’s Mews.
History:
Over the years the accommodation over the entrance appears to have been home to various artisans who had workshops or stables behind in the mews.
- LIVERY STABLES Frederick Fince 1855
The Mews, 1983
- Retired architect Joseph Pickman 1861
For a few years no one is registered as living in 53, but in the mews were:
- LIVERY STABLES John Wiffen 1865
- CAB PROPRIETOR William Leggett 1865
- GAS FITTER John Watkins 1865
- CARPENTER James Sells 1865
- CAB PROPRIETOR William Vince 1865
- FARRIER James Leggett 1871-80
- VETERINARY SURGEON James Leggett 1890-1915
Has James Leggett undergone more training, or is this a new, smarter name for his activity??
After 1920, 53 more or less disappears from the Directory.
