1915 Helford House This property Erf 417 (Lot 253) situated at 1 Bond Street was sold in 1915 out of the estate of Captain Edward Chaddock to Olaf Franzsen, who lived here until 1923. The property was then sold to John Spensley who sold it later to William (Bill) Mayne, an ex-Non-commissioned officer of the South African Police. He lived in the house together with his two unmarried sisters, Charlotte Anne and Emma. They were the children of Joseph Mayne who was appointed street-keeper of Knysna in 1897 at 20/- per month. In 1946, on the death of the last remaining sister the property was auctioned, and purchased by Adriaan Meyer.
