Transcriber's notes
There seems to be an error between the Field surveyors notes (see page 57) and the version written here. The field surveyor shows the Owner as Mr. Bayne and the occupier Mr. "Lith". On this page the owner is Mr. Lith and occupier Mr Leith. I have never come across the name "Lith", and Leith, while not common is far more likely. I think the field surveyor heard Leith and wrote Lith, and the error communicated itself to the final sheets via the O.S. transcibers. Mr "Lith" also appears on pages 5 and 10 as an authority.Transcribers who have contributed to this page.
