Fulham – Sand End [draft]
Thomas Cubitt held lands at Sands End in Fulham.
Whilst no exact details of this development are known the initial thought is that these houses were developed, possibly for his own workforce, as it would have been considered within 1840’s walking distance his Thames Bank works on Grosvenor Road.
The relevant overarching deed appears to be;-

By the time of the 1866, long after Thomas Cubitt had died in December 1855, the South West Sheet of Stanford’s Library Map of London and Its Suburbs shows that the areas was only lightly developed and substantial parts of it remained agricultural.
So it is possible to see what houses could have been built in Thomas Cubitt’s era and then to sample search land registry for mention of Thomas Cubitt’s involvement.
