Scope and content:
Within each file there are a number of different title deeds and property records relating to premises which were acquired by D H Evans & Co Ltd for their department stores. These premises were mainly on Oxford Street and Old Cavendish Street in London, however a number of deeds relate to property on other streets nearby. The files include records such as leases, licences, assignments, agreements, mortgages, conveyances, abstracts of titles, and some plans.
Additional information:
Some of the records in this series were originally catalogued in a series of property records (HF 11/13). However a large proportion of the records described below were discovered after the D H Evans & Co Ltd collection was catalogued. These records were unlisted and arranged in no particular order.
It was decided that all of these records should be brought together in one series of property records and arranged into files relating to a particular property or a number of related properties.
System of arrangement: The title deeds and property records in this series have been grouped together into files of related properties. Some of these files cover one particular property while others cover a number of properties on the same street. There are also a number of title deeds which relate to a combination of properties on different streets acquired by D H Evans & Co Ltd. These have been grouped together into one miscellaneous file. Files are generally arranged alphabetically by property or street name and then within this alphabetical arrangement they have been listed by street number. Miscellanous files of records have been listed after the files which relate to specific properties. Records are arranged chronologically within each file.
