HISTORICAL NOTE: Kirkman and Hendy were amongst the first speculative builders to take leases following Lord Camden's Estate Act passed in 1788 for the building of 1,400 houses for "industrious artisans" on the southern part of his Kentish Town Estate. Their first take was in June 1790 and the leases for the houses on Royal College Street all ran from Michaelmas 1790. Nos. 14-22 appear on the Stockdale Map of 1797. The French poets and partners Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud lived at 8 Royal College Street from May-July 1873.
