I think my Great Grandfather - Alfred Tate, son of Sir Henry, lived at Park Hill - presumably with his Dad! I think he moved from their in the second half of the 1800 hundreds to live in Leatherhead
I do have some records from him - in fact his accounts - which he kept in great detail. I might be able to find out exactly when he left from these if it helps?
Would be nice to see the photo
