Loose as Issued. Condición: Very Good. Unique. Small rectangular ORIGINAL drawing of Four Oaks Park Hall, demolished in 1898. Measures 5 x 6.5 inches, written on the back by one of the Hartop family as seeing it as a visitor? and also spelling the name with a single "P" and not the double "PP" as seen today. From an old archive…belonging once to Helen & Vincent Holbeche of Sutton Coldfield. Drawn on thick pale grey Victorian art card with embossed and raised borders of animals and pilasters, back has some old album paper adhesion, but not affecting the image and "quotation" and details visible of the person who drew the image. This is a GENUINE and probably unique front elevation aspect of the house, prettily drawn by this amateur related/family artist.

(4 items as one) NOTE: *Today; Four Oaks Park or the Four Oaks Estate lies south and west of Four Oaks Road as far as the railway line. Early 20th-century houses here were built on the parkland of Four Oaks Hall from which the district derives its name. It is alleged that three of the original oaks may survive in a garden in Hartopp Road. The 17th-century mansion was built for Lord Ffolliot c1680 on land formerly part of Sutton Park near Luttrell Road. By 1792 Edmund Cradock-Hartopp had bought the hall and its estate, in 1827 persuading Sutton Corporation to allow him to enclose yet more of Sutton Park to make his own park a more satisfactory oval shape.
