HISTORICAL NOTES & AGENTS NOTES Shophouse Road was originally called Sheephouse Lane as it was the drovers track from the sheep pastures owned by the Priory monks on what is now Southdown. However, this is not the only semantic vestige of history left in the area - Innox Road opposite takes its name from a Saxon agricultural term. Streets in this area began to be built as overspill housing from Oldfield Park at the turn of the century, on land once used for market gardens and orchards. This property has a Certificate of Fitness of New Dwelling dated 8th Dec 1937 and was first occupied from 18th Jan 1938 by Edwin James Burgess (clothworker). Mr Burgess purchased the property from the landholder Percy Edmund Bence (maltster, formerly of 18 High St Twerton) whose family had bought the land (formerly known as "Long Hay") from the Carr family (local mill owners). The Burgess family sold the property to Walter Geoffrey Carpenter (draughtsman) in 1957 who in turn sold to our clients in 2006.



Our client informs us the property was re-wired and had central heating installed in 2008.
