Cambridge Independent Press 27 Jan 1855: timber sale Benjamin Smith

TWO DAYS’ SALE OF

Capital Ash and Elm Timber, superior Larch,

(Some of large dimensions,)

LOP & TOPWOOD, &c., &c.,

On the TRUMPINGTON ESTATE.

TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION, BY

WENTWORTH & SON,

Upon the Premises (commencing Mill-road Plantation), on MONDAY and TUESDAY NEXT, January 29th and 30th, 1855, at Half-past Ten o’clock each day, by direction of the Trustees of the late Colonel Pemberton; without reserve.

The Fall this year is very large, and comprises nearly 400 Lots, among which are 60 fine ASH TIMBER TREES, 14 ditto ELMS, 200 LARCH TIMBER TREES, and POLES of large dimensions, and superior quality; several hundred smaller ASH, ELM, and BEECH TREES; a large quantity of LEG, TOP, and FIREWOOD, &c., &c.; the whole lying close to good roads in all directions.

W. & S. consider it almost superfluous to allude to the quality of the Trumpington Ash, which is allowed by good judges to be first-rate; among the other Timber there is a great quantity which will be found very useful, the Larch (a great portion of which is of large dimensions) is considered the best in the county.

May be viewed on application to BENJAMIN SMITH, the woodward, and Catalogues had at the Public-houses in the neighbouring villages; and of WENTWORTH and SON, Auctioneers, Valuers, and Estate Agents, Royal Exchance Fire and Life Assurance Offices, 1, Rose Crescent, Cambridge.
