No. 33: Former house


No. 33 Broad Street stood to the south of Seal’s Coffee House, and both were demolished in 1882 to make room for the first phase of the Indian Institute building.

The 1851 census shows the house occupied by Richard Redhead, a widower of 65, together with his daughter and nephew, and one servant. He is described as a builder and employer of several men.

At the time of the 1861 census, the house was occupied by Thomas Green, an ironmonger’s assistant of 33, with his sister, a lodger, and a servant.

In 1881 it was occupied by a bootmaker, George Gillman, and his wife, who had one servant: they must have been granted a very short lease, because within a year it was demolished.
