UNDER THE MANAGEMENT OF THE
SUN COMPANY LIMITED.
The freehold of Drury Lane is. let at 6,500 a year, that of, the Ald- wych Theatre at £3.500 while the rental of the Strand Theatre is £4,000 year. The ground rear of the Wal- dorf Hotel runs to £8,500 per an- num, and the Grapes Hotel is let at 15. The treehold ground rents around Covent Garden amount to up-| wards of £2,470 a year, and some of them have quite early reversions.
This coming sale is another exam- ple of the way in which large estates, both in London and the country, sre being broken up at the present time, ∙and are passing from the hands of one owner into those of many. Practic- ally all the properties mentioned above which Messrs. Edwin Fox, Burnett, and Eaddeley are to bring to auction, formed not very long ago part of the Duke of Bedford's Covent Garden estate, described in some quarters as that nobleman's" private London goli mine." It will be recalled that ir December. 1913. it was made public, to the general surprise, that his Grace. had sold his Covent Garden property of about thirteen acres to Mr. Harry Mallaby-Deeley. then M.P. for the Harrow Division of Middlesex. The Daily Telegraph was informed at the time on good authority that the price paid was £2,750,000, or roughly £150,000 an acre. A year had not passed when the estate was the sub- ject of a second deal as a whole, for in July, 1914, the announcement was made that negotiations. For its par- chase by Sir Joseph Beecham, Be.. with whom was associated Mr. Alex azder Läwson Ormrod, of Messrs. Lawson and Ormrod, stock-brokers, of Manchester, had been completed, and that a deposit of £75,000 had been paid to Mr. Mallaby-Deeley. Then the war intervened, and deal- ings in estates of this magnitude ceased. At the sale of the theatres. and other properties in December buyers will have a chance of secur ing in the opere.market some of the! best-known sections of an estate, the ownership of which placed the Duke of Bedford among the most important of the ground Landlords of the metro- Lolis
