At the same time he was doing the same up the road in Pimlico. The works his family firm did in the 1820s and 30s were on a staggering scale. It's hard to imagine private industry doing the same today on a speculative basis - I suppose Canary Wharf is the closest in modern times, but that had massive stock market money behind it. Thoroughly enjoyed this - thank you. Interesting to read about Thoms Cubitt’s work for the Russells in Bloomsbury.

My grt grt grandparents lived in Hunter Street, Bloomsbury between 1891 and 1901. This site gives me some insight into how they lived. My gr grt grandfather was a Solicitor and I know that they lived a rather rich life. Kerry (in Australia) What a lovely site to stumble upon during my family tree searching.
