Hamond Place Chatham - where was it?

[whiteKat]

In researching my GG Grandfather Thomas Gover I have found him as a Wine Merchant living in Hamond Place, Chatham Kent in the 1840 Pigot's Directory. In the introduction to Chatham, Brompton and Gillingham in the Directory it states;

'...Some years since a number of dwellings were destroyed by a conflagration and their site  (Hamond place), is now occupied by some elegant houses and shops.'

I have looked up Hamond Place on mapsgoogle and have been directed to a place  over the river in what appears to be Upnor, near Upnor Castle, near the Tudor Rose Inn. I have also found a place called Hammond Hill in Chatham.

Would anyone out there be able to tell me if the Hammond Place (it is spelt with two 'm's' in mapsgoogle) could be the Hamond Place (one 'm') of my interest in the Pigot's Directory 1840? Does Hammond Hill have any relationship with Hamond Place? Or was Hamond Place Chatham in a different place to what I have been looking at and thinking a possibility?

Thank you for your interest.

There is a Hamond Hill, I remember taking a short cut into the High Street from New Road, when I was at college. Whether that had a place off of it ?? so much has gone now.... best wishes .... Iris

In the 1841 census both "Hamond Hill" and "Hamond Place High Street"  are enumerated between 329 and 327 High Street in Chatham

If you go to http://www.old-maps.co.uk/ and enter co-ordinates  575420 and 167920, then choose the 1:500 1866 town plan,  you will see that Hamond Place ran along the High Street  west east (!) from Hamond Hill.

Thank you so very much ShaunJ - I am most grateful, and pleased to have found Hamond Place. Thank you also for your input domino. You were probably walking right past Hamond Place on your way to college, as per the map.

My wife and I have been looking into the history of number 44 high street Chatham, where she worked in the 60s. It seems that this was number 2 Hammond Place in 1838. This would put Hammond Place as the four properties just to the east of the bottom of Hammond Hill, in Chatham High Street.
Hope this is helpful.
Kind regards
