Villiers Street from Ross Road

Named after Edward Villiers, who was a Colonial Land Emigration Commissioner in 1843 (also known as Flagstaff Hill, at the top of the hill there was a flagstaff, which was used to communicate with Cape Pembroke Lighthouse, also sometimes known as Rosemont Hill).

On the left of the picture is Stanley Cottage, built by the first Colonial Surgeon, Henry Joseph Hamblin sometime immediately after the move of the capital from Port Louis to Stanley.

On the right of the picture (not shown), is the Upland Goose Hotel, built in 1854 by Jacob Napoleon Goss, originally as five cottages and a small hotel (the Eagle Inn) and then known as Marmont Row (and now owned by the Falkland Islands Company Limited). The Upland Goose Hotel has closed for business, the owners are converting the building to accommodation units.

For those of you with a theatrical 'bent', Marmont Row is the birthplace of the famous Edwardian actress, Ellaline Teriss, and she mentions this in her autobiography.
