A few months after his father's death in 1879 Henry Sweet moved from the family home, 140 Maida Vale, London, into lodgings at Mansfield Cottage in Hampstead where ‘the air … [was] very fine’ and where he could ‘get out into a very fine country in a few minutes’ (letter to Johan Storm of 27 November 1879). He was to remain there until his marriage in 1887. But for anyone interested in finding the Cottage today there is a problem since no building with this name exists now in Hampstead (there is however a Mansfield Place and a Mansfield Road). When Sweet wrote to Storm some years later on the occasion of a visit Storm was paying to England, he gave him instructions on how to reach Mansfield Cottage—‘… it is tolerably accessible from Woburn Place. There is an omnibus from Tottenham Court Road …’—and to help him find it drew a sketch-map (letter of 18 April 1884).
