Notes |
|
Greenwich was located in the southeast of Hanover on the borders with Westmoreland. The estate used a cattle mill which Higman notes was typical of marginal nineteenth century estates. It was surveyed in 1817 by Alexander Stevenson and Nicholas Smith. They gave the acreage as 1138. An undated plan of 1810 showed there were two cattle mills however James Robertson's map of 1804 depicts only one. The mill was adjacent to the boiling house and the curing house was attached to the boiling house. The buildings were in an L shape. The works at Greenwich included an overseer's house and the area for the enslaved people covered 6 acres. The hospital and store house were close to the works. |
