'Plan of Dimsdale Arms Hotel and No. 11, Fore Street, Hertford. For Sale by Norris & Duvall'
Prepared by Hertford land agents Norris & Duvall for the sale held at the Dimsdale Arms Hotel on 27 January 1923, this finely detailed colour-lithographed auction plan records the remaining trust estate of the late Baroness Dimsdale. Reproduced from the Ordnance Survey and printed locally by Stephen Austin & Sons, it distinguishes the hotel and its long rear yard as Lot 1 in green and No. 11 Fore Street as Lot 2 in red. The surrounding town centre is unusually well documented, including Fore Street, Market Place, Castle Street, Maidenhead Street, Shire Hall, Corn Exchange, public market, banks, post office, cattle market and the route to the Great Eastern Railway station. The former inn survives at 80 Fore Street as Grade II-listed Dimsdale House. Historic England records that it was formerly the Duncombe Arms and was renamed for the Dimsdale family, whose Thomas Dimsdale became celebrated for smallpox inoculation. This offering comprises the Dimsdale Arms plan only; the original auction catalogue is not included.
