Camden Lodge, Round Hill

Post by Falkor »

Is this an old building? What about the white building at the bottom of Round Hill?

It is not very old, probably 1970s. The original building on this site was called Camden Cottage and was built in the 1830s or earlier. It faced across Round Hill, which was a deadend at the time:

The cottage at the bottom of Round Hill is Round Hill Lodge, and was probably built in the 1820s. Courtside, nearby, combines two houses of the 1850s, converted to flats by Ted Christmas in the late 1920s. I've uploaded a few Round Hill pictures <here>.

Nice photos; thanks Steve! Surprised by Round Hill Lodge... VERY surprised by Courtside! I was going to ask about these flats because I thought they looked old, but then they are not on older maps, so I assumed they must be modern. Never guessed they were converted from two old houses...
