In 1926 a private company was created, the Richings Park Estate Company, with the Sykes retaining some parcels of land for themselves and conveying the rest (specifically excluding the plots already sold) to the company.

There is some information that this company failed, in any event a public company Richings Park (1928) Ltd. Property Company was proposed in 1928 and came into being in 1929. Information from Mr Roberts indicated that a liquidator wound down the private company and transferred its assets to the public company.

Herbert Lushington Storey (1853 - 1933) Deputy Lieutenant of Lancashire was persuaded by the egregious Friend Sykes to become the chairman of the Board of the 1928 company and a considerable investor. Mr Storey, of the famous Storeys of Lancaster, was a retired JP at that time living in Burton Hill House, Malmesbury, Wiltshire, where he raised horses.

He insisted that his law firm, lead by Capt. A.C.N. Dixey, Tory MP for Penrith and Cockermouth (1923-1935), should replace the firm from Dewsbury and Captain Dixey's new London Office in Grosvenor Street W1 was set up.

Shires End, Iver

The launch of the public company in 1928 found them in prestigious offices at Walmer House, 298 Regent Street (between Oxford Street and Langham Place) from June 1928 until the company went into receivership in 1931. The registered company office was 49 East Cheapside Friend and Harry were Directors of the public Company but Eric was not.

He was the employed agent in whose name property was listed and dealings effected.

With the formation of the public company run by a board, a more commercial view was evident with significant more development over the parkland as set out in a formal Report and Valuation prepared by a City of London firm of surveyors. By this time Syke Cluan and Syke Ings had already been made up and adopted by the highway authority and Bathurst Walk was about to be adopted. The 1928 plan for Richings Park was never completed. Main Drive and South Drive were to be fully developed (the development of Main Drive eventually occurred between 2000 and 2009) and the land of the two farms would be taken up with in-fill back from the Poynings and the Ridings stretching all the way to Colnbrook where there was to be another parade of shops. Four areas of tennis courts were included, but the ornamental lake in the park was was ignored as a feature.
