The first phase of development of the Grange Estate included the construction of “Camoys Terrace” (No 184 & 186 Waterloo Road), a pair of large semi-detached houses in the Gothic style. No 184 contained 8 rooms and No 186 7 rooms, each with a front garden and a large rear garden plus a coach house and driveway to Waterloo Road. 

In 1851 one of the houses was occupied by William Kennedy, a pottery manufacturer at the Washington works. 


 

By 1842 the 220 acre Rushton Grange estate had passed to Lord Camoys. Shortly afterwards he began to redevelop the land on the east side of the estate next to Waterloo Road.
