This double villa was built for the solicitor, Thomas H Williamson, on lands formerly belonging to Egremont or Grange Park House. Although the drawings at the dean of Guild archives are signed "Kininmonth and Spence", the petition to the Dean of Guild Court is signed by Kininmonth alone. Simultaneously Kininmonth was at work on his own Modermist style house at 46A Dick Place - also part of the Egremont estate.
