April 1895: Spear & King - new house - Gordon Road- in the 1896 Rate book this is owned by Spear & King and lived in by Esther Bingham - she is still living there in 1907 when it is known as "Pinewood".

August 1900: Spear & King - new house - Gordon Road - 1901 the original house has been sold to Esther Bingham and the new one is occupied by Thomas King - this house takes the name of
"Devonshire House". As these two houses are on adjoining land at
this time (later another house is built between them) it is likely that
Spear & King purchased a reasonable plot of land and subdivided
it - developing more of it as they could afford to.
