Mr John David Meldrum and his wife Emma and their grandchildren Ken and Joan lived in the caretaker's quarters behind the hemstitching shop on the right of the Hall's entrance (No. 142) and upstairs up to the first post from the right. The hemstitching shop was run by a Miss Durham. Next door is Hiddlestone Bros., Electrical Engineers and Contractors. Next to that is the Hall's main entrance. There was a large hall downstairs and a lesser hall upstairs. The shop on the left of the entrance charged its tenants expensive rates.
