Peartree Cottage
A Memory of Clapham.
My late husband's family multi-generational of Clapham and during research discovered the death of Benjamin Blackaby in 1857 at his address: Peartree Cottage, White Square, Clapham, London. My late mother-in-law, his grand-daughter, often spoke of White Square, and claimed during her life-time, born in 1889, as a notorious place inhabited by rogues and villains. Since she never claimed family association with the place I suspect she had no knowledge of the family connection. Can anyone point me in the right direction to find out more about White Square which looks very different today to what I imagine she remembered.
