Edward saw a great opening for a livelihood in the fast growing Wells. When he was 30 he and his wife provided lodgings for the throngs who filled the fashionable resort.

In a list of lodging houses given in a local guide book dated 1797 the house called 'The Green Pales' on Mount Sion, Tunbridge Wells, is described as having 5 sitting rooms, 7 chambers and 7 garrets but in an earlier edition of the same book (1768) it is given as containing 5 parlours and 9 chambers available for visitors and one wonders where the children, of whom there were ten under 18yrs were stowed! Most of the houses in that locality were lodging houses and it is stated that the Clerk of the Chapel-of-Ease, who also had a house there, when he had a vacancy would give out with great gusto the psalm 'Mount Zion is a pleasant place'.

Tunbridge Wells was at that time at the height of its prosperity as a fashionable resort and Mount Sion was its most favoured residential district. The season lasted from May to October but the winter months must have been dull indeed, even the chapel and taverns being closed. The distinguished visitors, some who may have lodged at Green Pales included Lord Mansfield the famous Chief Justice, whose house in London had been burnt down in the Gordon riots; Lord North the Prime Minister largely responsible for the loss of our American colonies; Richard Cumberland, the dramatic writer and essayist: and many others. As the century drew to its close Tunbridge Wells was humming with activity and enterprise and Edward and Ann must have faced the new century in very comfortable circumstances.

A portrait exists of Edward Strange which was held by Mr E. Swift of Philadelphia. It represents a bucolic looking gentleman in a yellow striped waistcoat, holding a long churchwarden clay pipe. N.B. The picture was left to his niece in the USA.

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.
