RAMSGATE VALE SQUARE TR 3764 NE (north side) 12/389 No. 13 Royal Villa GV II House. 1839-40 for J.C. Eddels, built by William Saxby. Rendered with slate roof. Two storeys, garret and basement, with cornice and parapet with 3 pierced panels to double pitch roof. Two full height elliptical bows, with segmentally headed recesses. Three glazing bar sashes on first floor and 2 large margin light sashes on ground floor with chamfered rebates. Central panelled door with rectangular fanlight. Glazing bar sash to basement. Single storey extension to left with margin light sash. James Creed Eddels was a hosier from Piccadilly, London, who purchased and developed the land which became Vale Square (from August 1839). He first lived at the pre-existing No. 5 Vale Square (No. 5 Victoria Place), and moved into No. 13 (Royal Villa) in Summer 1840, by which time No. 51 (not now listable) and 52 (part of Vale House) had been built. Vale Square was to be a square with 3 rows of 4 storey houses and central garden, all to be built by William Saxby, the plan amended 1846 to allow Saxby to build Christ Church (by G.G. Scott) on the western side of the Vale. Eleven houses were built 1841-46, a further 5 by March 1850, completing the development. (See Busson, Ramsgate, 127-128).
