Background
History
After the death of Augusta Emma d'Este (Lady Truro) on 21 May 1866, the remainder of the land from the Mount Albion Estate was sold off to developers. Business partners Robert Sankey, John Barnet Hodgson and the architect Edward Welby Pugin purchased a plot of land on Ramsgate's east cliff for £9,250. In 1867, they built an eight-house terrace in the Gothic style. These were substantial properties, with four floors and a basement, and each had a private entrance. The houses were marketed as exclusive villas, to be let for weeks at a time to wealthy visitors to Ramsgate who were expected to arrive at the nearby Ramsgate Sands station below the cliff. The terrace is described by Catriona…
