1820 Settler Places in Britain and Éire

In many cases, particularly in cities like London and Bristol, many buildings with settler ties no longer exist. In such cases I have tried to include historical pictures where possible, and where I have not been able to take pictures myself I have added pictures from www.geograph.co.uk, which can be used under a Creative Commons Licence. Where the photographer’s name appears as a clickable link followed by a CC BY-SA 2.0 reference, the original photo can be viewed together with other photographs of the surrounding area.

The pictures are currently arranged by county for England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, with separate sections for the cities of Birmingham, Bristol, Dublin, Edinburgh, Liverpool, London, Manchester and Nottingham. London has been further sub-divided into Boroughs so as not to have too many pictures in one file. The pictures appear as small icons with a brief title. Clicking on them will reveal a larger picture with text explaining the link to one or more settlers and a credit to the photographer. Clicking on the + sign will further enlarge the picture to full screen (ESCape to exit full screen), and the photographs can all be downloaded from the site.

 

St.Botolph without Aldgate from the Minories 1810

St.Botolph without Aldgate from the Minories 1810
London, City of London

St.Botolph without Aldgate from The Minories. The church was one of four in medieval London dedicated to Saint Botolph, each of which stood by one of the gates to the City. The other three churches were St Botolph without Aldersgate, St Botolph without Billingsgate (destroyed by the Great Fire and not rebuilt) and St Botolph without Bishopsgate. Thomas Price ADAMS and William SURMON both lived on The Minories. William BARRETT, William BOND, William DENHAM, Samuel John MOLLETT, Robert PIRIE, William Henry SURMON, Thomas WELLS and Thomas WILLSON were all married in St.Botolph without Aldgate.
