2 & 2a Cheyney Street

This plot was originally part of the adjoining Mill Yard and a house stood on it, with its gable end facing onto Church Street and main face onto Cheyney Street. It was semi-attached to another house owned for many years by Earl of Hardwicke. Both houses were demolished in the mid 1960s.

Later the entire Mill Yard site was redeveloped and 2 and 2a Cheyney Street were built. The main Mill Yard redevelopment was carried out by Smith & Hitchings (Holwell) Ltd, but they sold the small plot facing Cheyney Street to Norfield Ltd on 15 October 1984. Norfield erected these two houses and No 2 was sold 3 February 1986 to Hilary Jane Phillips and No 2a on 10 July 1985 to Ronald Frederick Watson & Joan Hilda Watson.
