Penalverne 1844

Further to the enquiry by ben1997 here is the 1844 Tithe Map,
showing the Bolitho Penalverne Estate.
The house name did not appear to have been adopted until later.
Penalverne

In 1845, in the Penzance Tithe Apportionment Book,
Thomas Simon Bolitho is recorded as owner and occupier of the lands;
977 Plantation, 979-980 Scobell's Land, 984 Plantation, 1041 Stable Outhouse and Yard,
1042 Shrubbery and Walk, 1043 House, Outhouse and Yard, 32 Garden, 1044 Lawn, 1045 Lawn,
1077-9 Boase's Land, 1080 Road;
Area 8 Acres 3 Rods 2 Poles

Payable to the Vicar £6.8s.6d

Payable to Valentine LeGrice (Improprietor) 15shillings.
The numbers in front of each parcel record the number of the part on the Tithe Map,
which coincide with the numbers on this 1844 Tithe Map;
I have marked on the boundary of the Bolitho Land.
The estate was further developed and the house enlarged over the years.
The name Alverne is a contraction for Alverton, and can be transposed,

as seen on some records naming Nancealverton, etc.,.

When was the house demolished and why? Can you place where the house was on Penalverne Road?
 
The house was demolished to allow the Council s plan for estate development to continue. The estate was built in the early thirties. I have a considerable amount of research to be done on this and it will all be placed here when completed; I intend to prepare and upload an overlay plan to show exactly where the house was. I will make a start on this in October.... Bear with me. I also have the original plans prepared by Frederick Drewitt and the house had been earmarked to have been kept, but the scheme was too expensive for the local authority and so the House was demolished and cheaper houses were built, designed by themselves.
