Being doing some research on Bankside, I feel so stupid, I went to CIPFA College in Borough for 3 years and used to walk along Bankside nearly everyweek without even knowing thats what it was called. We used to drink in the Anchor Pub nearby....small world. * I am very confused for the following reasons.* 1. According to Elizabeth Isaacs death certificate 1860 she died 45 Bankside, Moss Isaacs was living 1861 at 45 Bankside and in 1868. 2. The review on the Book on the House by the Thames says the family sold up to Moss Isaacs Scrap Merchant, but the House in question was 49 Bankside. 3. I have found notices that both Charles and Samuel Isaacs his brothers were tied to Bankside up to their deaths 1874 and 1889 respectively. Also Philip Isaacs, Samuel's son also was tied to Bankside until his death in 1891. 4. When Moss died he left the business to his son Henry but he was only 10. *Questions?* Do you know if Moss owned the whole stretch of Bankside and wether he leased Bankside Did Moss have his Iron works at Bankside in warehouses/wharfs In 1901 only 45 and 49 Bankside was standing some were demolished others were Wharfs. I wonder where you can get details of ownerships of buildings in the 1880s, found on line Moss Isaacs leasing building with his brother Elias in Hackney, going to Hackney Archives to see if I can find document. Its very interesting, have you read the book? Debs
