'Plan of Freehold Residences, Garage & Building Land, Castle Street, Hertford. For Sale by Norris & Duvall'
Prepared by Hertford land agents Norris & Duvall for the sale of the remaining trust estate of the late Baroness Dimsdale on 27 January 1923, this substantial colour-lithographed plan lays out a 16-acre building estate in fifteen colour-keyed lots. Extending south from historic properties on Castle Street, between Pegs Lane and Queen’s Road, to Highfield Road, it records houses, gardens, outbuildings, boundaries, tree-lined roads and undeveloped fields on an Ordnance Survey base: a vivid document of Hertford’s interwar expansion. Lot 7 includes 23 Castle Street, The Walnuts, a fifteenth-century hall house now listed Grade II*, together with its separately listed coach house and stables. A 2024 Hertfordshire Building Preservation Trust heritage report reproduced this exact sale plan and uses it to trace changes to the property and its outbuildings. Locally printed by Stephen Austin & Sons, the sheet combines architectural, landownership and town-planning interest. The original auction catalogue accompanies the plan and preserves its sale-room context; although the catalogue was issued with two plans, the Dimsdale Arms plan is not present in this offering.
