1920 Transfer of Mortgage Document Cardol Place Southwark Goffin to Johnson

An original 1920 Transfer of Mortgage document on ruled parchment paper, dated 2nd March 1920. The document details the transfer of mortgage securities from Robert Edwin Hambleton Goffin (of Goodwins, Wakes Colne, Essex, Gentleman) to Elizabeth Maria Johnson (Widow, of West Kensington), Gerald Graphton Flinn (Lieutenant in the Canadian Army), and Charles Hotson Rodwell (of Tring, Hertfordshire, Brewer).

The transaction relates to leasehold properties known as Numbers 1 to 9 (inclusive) Cardol Place, Southwark, in the County of London. The document spans two manuscript pages, featuring an elaborate calligraphic heading, revenue stamps (Four Shillings & Two Shillings Sixpence), a red seal, hand-signature of Robert E. H. Goffin, and witness signature of Elsie Maud Hart (Domestic Servant at Wakes Colne). Measures 25 cm by 38 cm.

Cardol Place in Southwark was a residential enclave of leasehold properties during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Transfers of mortgage were common legal procedures allowing lenders to assign their beneficial interest and outstanding principal debts (£1,250 in this instance) to new trustees or beneficiaries. The involvement of servicemen returning from World War I—such as Lieutenant Gerald Graphton Flinn of the Canadian Army—reflects post-war financial reorganisations across London estates.
