Journal entry – John Grey – 15 Nov 1834

Saturday 15th November 



Received from Mr Bicknell the Conveyance to Mr Burnett, of the Tynehead Estate, with instructions to deliver it to Mr Bainbridge, on receiving £70, the Purchase Money which I communicated to Mr Bainbridge.  Arranged with Mr Hunt the contents & boundaries of the Dilston Farms, as now altered, that he might prepare lists of the Fields, & give information to persons wishing to examine them. I then accompanied him to Dilston South Farm to fix upon a Barn which in the new arrangement, the Tenant may dispense with & which it will be very convenient to have reserved for a place of depot for Gates, bark, or Wood of any kind for the use of the Estate,  being by the road from Dilston and Snokoe Plantations.  Went afterwards to the Tyne Banks where we are repairing some trifling injury done by the late Floods.  Had again interviews with some of the Tenants respecting their Farms.
