1891 2 Hanover Buildings was home to Catherine Lyons [Lions] , age 61, widow of Stephen . Living with her were son, Stephen, 32, single, labourer Waterside, and daughter, Elizabeth, 27, single, bookfolder. They did not stay there long, maybe because son Stephen moved out to live with Mary Ann Dillon. Probably only there from July 1890 [ when she left St.Olave Infirmary] until Feb 1892 at the most. Cannot find number 2 in Electoral Roll Books 1890-1892, although higher numbers are listed.
It was a brand new Tenement block ,still standing but somewhar altered,and now known as Devon Mansions, 2008: built as one of the projects of James Hartnoll, a speculative builder of working class housing. Interestingly, he named all his first four projects after German towns: but they were all renamed in 1917 when his only son ,James, was killed in military service. Unlike Peabody, he seems to have developed housing more as a commercial venture than a philanthropic one.. Hanover Buildings is in Tooley Street.
