Description: | The Royal Hotel and the Crescent (Norfolk Crescent), built in 1826 in the style of the Royal Crescent at Bath, were among a number of Regency buildings erected after the opening of the first Hayling Island Bridge in 1824. A group of entrepreneurs, including Sir George Staunton, William Padwick, and others, planned to develop Hayling Island as a fashionable watering-place or seaside resort, rivalling Brighton and Bognor, but the scheme never reached fruition, and the planned Terrace was never completed..
