Eversley House, Leek

[sec3mitchdr]

Thanks for the above background info on the Sleighs.  However my main interest is in the house.  If No. 64 is now a hotel then is this the same building that was previously called 'Eversley'.  My understanding is that 'Eversely House' was demolished in the 1920s/1930s.  I am wondering whether 'Eversely' and 'Eversely House' were two different buildings?  Also notable that the lodge to Eversely House was at 24 Broad Street which had a drive along side it presumably up to the main house.
Not thought about Bednall - thanks for the suggestion.

Your initial post was:
'Does anyone have any info at all about the house or its owners '

as the family was there for a very long time, I thought you would be interested in them.

Do a google map walk along to 64 St Edward Street to see what you think of the building.

You could consider joining this facebook group to ask about the house, but it does not look very active:

Scrolled through the pictures from that Leek facebook group and Bingo:

Thanks Chempat for all your info on this and apologies for the delay in responding.  The sketch looks interesting and obviously concerns the development of Eversley Ave.  Presumably the houses shown were at the back of 64 St Edwards Str. somewhere.  I wonder who it was drawn for and for what purpose.

It was drawn by CW of the Leek and District Historical Society for CK who had been on a guided walk with her.  CW can be contacted through facebook for further information - or the Society.
