Herein dwell many of the aristoerats of commerce; the ecclesiastical avemie has become a new millionaires' row, and incidentally the most burgled road in Britain. Capt. Arthur Waite, who began his career as an engineer in Australia and now is sales director of the Austin firm, lives in The Bishop's Avenue. So also does Mr. Jack Billmeir, who made a fortune from his fleet of ships in the recent Spanish war.
Of all the mansions in The Bishop's Avenue none has more interesting a: sociations than one which is called Tower.
