Title: Kings Terrace, Southsea. [Go to resource]
Description: In the alcove in the centre of the gable stood a statue of King George III. The building was destroyed in air raids in 1940-41. Kings Terrace was built by a gentleman called Croxton who was formerly a purser in the Royal Navy. He owned the land surrounding and encompassing Gold Silver Copper and Stone Streets and laid it out for building purposes. For some years the new buildings were known as Croxton Town. Croxton Lodge stood on the north end of the terrace. The land on which Croxton Town was built was sold in 1711 for £100. In 1823 Mr Croxton sold it in lots for £17000. Copy photograph. Ref: Gates, W.
