I am trying to get some info on Westminster Lodge House., which was on Holywell Hill. I have found records of it being more St Stephens Hill from 1878- 1933. Which is quite a while, I can find occupier Mr Edward Walter martin or maybe the other way round. Another is St Stephens Hill House ( located where the leisure centre is now).. This was occupied by Lt col Albert Prescott (1933). But I can find out no more I wonder if anyone has more information. It would interest me greatly. Thanks
Just to continue about Westminster Lodge House. After some research it seems Westminster Lodge House and Trevelyan House are one and the same, it’s name was changed when taken over by the YHA in 1960s.It is still there, now part of the housing development on St Stephens Hill. I have been unable to find out anything about St Stephens House. It is listed 1878 possibly prior to that date, and disappeared between 1949 and 1952.It was probably demolished to make way for the leisure centre.
Not really sure when that was built, I thought it was nearer 1960. Any other ideas.
Use the Search panel if you are looking for something specific, or browse our categories and tags and pick one that looks interesting to you.
If you are looking for a specific name, e.g. John Smith, or for a term with two or more words, then it is best to put double quotation marks around them, e.g. “John Smith”. Note: The search facility is not case sensitive, so it does not matter if you write a search term in upper or lower case or a mixture of both. Also, the search does not look for whole-word matches; cases where only part of a word matches your search will also be found.
