OCCUPATION: Hotelier - Tunbridge Wells The Angel Later To Become The Kentish Royal Hotel

He was 28 years old when the nineteenth century - the century that was to mean so much to the progress of Tunbridge Wells - began. His father was alive and probably had kept him in the lodging house business and provided the capital for him to acquire the proprietorship of the Kentish Royal Hotel (then The Angel), which was or was to become one of the two principal hostelries of the town (it was pulled down about 1880). There is a view of the Hotel in the local guide for 1827

A change was coming over the character of the place. More and more houses were being built and permanent residents settling in. Instead of the winters being 'deserts with the church and taverns closed', there was a certain number of inhabitants (about 1,600) all the year around.

On Tunbridge Wells Common is STRANGE'S AVENUE which was planted c.1810-20 by Edward Hilder Strange, proprietor of the Royal Kentish Hotel, as an ornamental avenue leading down to his front entrance. It consisted originally of some forty sycamores and chestnuts, but many trees have been replaced in subsequent years. It is named Stranges' Avenue on Charles Hilberts' map of Commemoration Trees.
