Mrs. Gascoigne, author of “Belgravia,” “Spencer’s Cross Manor House,” “The Next Door Neighbours,” and other works, resides at No. 14. Admiral Sotheby, one who fought at the Nile, lived at No. 38, and died January, 20th, 1854. Sir Henry Campbell, who died in 1856, Sir Willoughby Cotton, Mr. Tite, M.P., Mr. Brassey, the extensive contractor, Mr. Whiteside, M.P., Mr. R. B. Wingfield, and Mr. Malins, M.P., number also among the inhabitants of Lowndes Square. The row of houses on the south side was designed by Mr. Lewis Cubitt, and with greater regard to architectural effect than anything of its kind then in the metropolis. It was built in 1843. LOWNDES TERRACE—A row of shops between William Street and Sloane Street, occupying the site of a row of old-fashioned houses, of two storeys high, with pleasant gardens in front and rear, giving the roadway quite a rural appearance. The house at the eastern end belonged to one Banting, who built some projecting shops over the front gardens in 1815, and named the row Waterloo Market. His expectations were not realised; and in 1823 these old premises were removed, and the present houses erected. There were but six houses. At No. 5 resided, fifty years ago, Andrews, an artist of some repute in his day; and at No. 6 for some years lived the mother of Rodwell, the author and composer; and her son’s early years were partly passed at this pleasant spot. At the west end of this row a narrow lane, called Porter’s Lane, led to the fields. On its right-hand side, and divided from it by a hedge, stood a large detached mansion, known as Knightsbridge Grove, approached through a fine avenue of stately trees from the highway. For many years a man named Hicks, a “sporting character,” kept the place, and George IV., when Prince of Wales, and others of similar tastes, were led hither. Mr. Egg, the gunmaker, once erected a large wooden building for some balloon experiments in the grounds. And this was, I believe, the house where the notorious Teresa Cornellys attempted to recover her bygone reputation.
