A propos de cet article

Six large folio pages written on rectos only on blue paper, folded and sewn together. An interesting draft legal document, giving an idea of the costs incurred by the financiers of the Metropolitan Railway for the procurement of land. John Chew makes a claim for £3,500 compensation for the compulsory purchase of 'The Angel Livery & Bait Stables', sometimes known as 'Chew's Ride', by the Metropolitan Railway in order to build the extension of London's first underground line to Moorfields. Chew's father had started the business in 1835; the premises comprised a dwelling house, a 'long Ride' of 200 feet, five sets of stables, four large loose boxes, three 'large and commodious coach houses and large lofts and dwelling rooms above'. On the opposite side of the Ride was a further coach house, wheelwright's shop, stables and outbuildings 'with a large washing place. and a dung pit.'. The statement provides very detailed descriptions of his outgoings and income from tenants. The trading accounts were placed in the hands of 'independent' accountants who estimated profits on the business at well below the figure of £350 per annum estimated by Chew - possibly because he had 'kept his Books very loosely'. Unable to obtain similar premises 'sufficiently near the City', and with space for only nine horses at his new site in Wilson Street, Chew argues that he has been unable to retain customers. Included here are four printed sale catalogues, 1866-69 for horses, carriages, 'job commercial phaetons', etc. and a 'valuable lease' & 'entire working stock' of Calver and Saunders, Old Street. In the sale of the stock in trade of the late Mr Tucker (May 13th, 1868) lot 26 is marked as indicating a commercial phaeton standing at 'Mr Chew's Livery Stables, 20 Wilson Street.' Also included, promissory notes, payable to J. Chew, July 1858, and a small quantity of land and assessed taxes receipts, parish church rates and sewer rates, 1863-64. PLEASE NOTE: For customers within the UK this item is subject to VAT at 20%.…
