Description: | The firemark is quite fragile and has been mounted onto a shaped wooden base, onto which the text '1769 12 Upper Hall Lane' has been printed in gold. The firemark depicts a sun with rays and a face, in relief. This firemark was affixed to the wall of Joseph Beddel's premises in Upper Hall Lane in December 1769, as a sign of his proposal to insure his premises, furniture and stock (value 300) by the Sun Insurance Company, London, for an annual premium of 6s.
