In 1931 Kelly's Directory lists Miss Hamilton as a private resident at Salmon Cottage.
The following is an excerpt from the article 1956 Rita Probert (Autobiography)

Their daughter Sally was one of the last Debutantes to be presented at Court. They also had servants, which was very impressive.
Mrs Isdell-Carpenter started a sewing circle, then later thought it would be good to have a club for the older residents of Loosley Row & Lacey Green – thus the 81st Club was formed. My mother became a helper and later, when elderly herself, a member.
