In 1901 he sold the business to Henry Isaac Jarman, and he and his family returned to London where he pursued his career as an artist and writer. He died aged 85 in 1930 after a motor accident on Christmas Eve in Blackheath. He was living at 1 The paragon Blackheath and left £8269 to Helen Spanton. a sum equivalent to nearly half a million pounds in todays equivalent.
