Other properties
George Sanders held 10 properties in Paradise Place, 8 in Wellington Place and 13 in Caroline Place (amongst others). These survived until the mid-20th century and a map and two photos give an idea of their location and style: thanks to VP for her research into this area.How to see this will in full
