The Henwick Road Estate, West Worcestershire, was
allotted at Worcester, on the 27th of August, after a public
meeting, at which Sir E. Lechaiere, Bart., presided, and at
which Viscount Ranelagh, the Hon. and Rev. W. Talbot,
the Hon. Robert Bourke, attended as a deputation from the
Board, to explain the general working of the society, and
the mode of allotment of estates. The meeting was highly
satisfactory, and the sale of land has been equally so ; and
as the Renwick Road Estate is within an easy walk of
Worcester and of a first-class station, has a gravelly soil,
stands high, with fine views of the Malvern Hills, the pro-
perty bids fair to be speedily bu,lt upon.
The Ipswich estate was offered for sale on the Bth of July,
after a public meeting, at which Viscount Ranelagh was
the chairman, supported by J. C. Cobbold, Esq., M.P., the
Hon. and Rev. W. Talbot, and Capt. Jervis, M.P., mem-
bers of the board. After some plots had been selected, a
wish was expressed by the inhabitants of the town that the
formation of a crescent, leaving an open space in front for
ornamental gardens, should be abandoned, and the whole of
the land thrown into allotment : a new plan has been issued
to meet the local views. the estate adjoins the Handford
Hall Villas, and is close to the station, and is essentially
building land. 0 wing to the new line of railway which will
soon pass through the Kentish-town estate, it has been re-
quisite to issue a new plan of allotment for this increasing
neighbourhood. The station will be within a few yards of
the property. The second portion of the Woodhouse estate,
Wanstead, which will be offered for sale has been included
in a now plan, affording facilities for the erection of either
small or large houses, which are much required in this
healthy district. The executive committee will allot the
Avenue estate, Bevels Mount, Southampton, after a public
meeting in that town, on Wednesday, the 21st of Octo-
ber. The land has been divided into 44 building plots,
ranging in price from £44 per plot up to £4lB. The 11th
anniversary was completed on the 7th of September last;
and the executive committee cannot enter on the 12th
year of the Conservative Land Society without a word of
congratulation to the shareholders on its prosperous pro-
gress, with a renewal of the assurance on the part of the
board, that no exertions shall be spared to secure its con-
tinuous prosperity.
