Anstice/Madeley Wood Auction Page 4

The properties included in this Sale are now entirely surplus to the requirements of the Madeley Wood Company, who have decided to offer them for Sale at low Reserve Figures, hence the attentions of Investors and Agriculturalists, are especially drawn to this Sale.

The Farm is exceptionally well situated and would always command a good Rental.

The Pitmounts provide enormous supplies of Clay suitable for bricks and some suitable for tiles; also slag, iron and ironstone, cinder, etc.

The Cottages are occupied by a good class of Tenant generally. The advent of the proposed Scheme for supplying Electrical Power must almost inevitably bring fresh Industries into this District.

Mines and Minerals (except as stated in the Special Conditions) are the property of the Lord of the Manor of Madeley and are excluded from the Sale.

Tenancies are as described in the Particulars, written Agreements where existing may be inspected at the Auctioneers’ Offices by appointment; the Cultivation of each Field represents the Condition as let to the various Tenants.

Rentals. Where necessary viz. Lots 2, 5, 6, 13, 14 and 18, Rentals have been apportioned solely for the purpose of this present Sale.

Outgoings. Tithe Rent Charge has been abstracted solely for the guidance of prospective purchasers from recent demands, which may or may not be correct. No legal apportionments have been made, nor shall any be required.

Areas have been computed from Ordinance Survey Maps (1902 Edition) and these, together with the Particulars, are believed to be correct, but heir accuracy is not guaranteed and no claim will be admitted for errors or omissions.

Plans have been prepared solely for the purposes of identification and the Sale is not by Plan.
