      1876. Collard James. Effects under GB3,000. 4 April. The Will with a Codicil of James Collard formerly of Kennington near Ashford in the County of Kent, Butler, but late of Prospect House, Princes street, Dover, in the said County, Gentleman, who died 4 June 1875 at Prospect House was proved at Canterbury by Mary Ann Smith (Wife of Alexander Joel Smith, Builder) of Dover, one of the Executors.

      [Note: Princes Street once ran from York Street to Queen Street, but now is a short street from Durham Hill to Cowgate Hill. Considering when it was built, it was possibly named after the Prince Regent. Hartley Street ran from Durham Hill to Cowgate Hill. Around 1800 John Hartley owned the meadows adjoining what became Cowgate Cemetery and built Prospect House in Princes Street where he ran a private school for young gentlemen (later housing the Prince of Wales Sea Training School for many years). When the area behind Prospect House was built upon, this road took his name. It was demolished during the 1930s as part of a slum clearance programme. An unusual article in the Library dating from the turn of the century describes the school : 'Prospect House occupies a healthy site on elevated ground commanding fine views of Dover and castle within a few minutes walk of the sea, promenades, piers, public gardens and parks. Buildings are well constructed and perfect sanitary arrangements exist throughout - in the past 30 years only 2 cases of infectious illness were known at the school and those were slight attacks which were immediately isolated. Classrooms are well ventilated and dormitory accommodation is exceptionally good. Any boy desiring it can have a private bedroom on payments of a small additional fee. Domestic arrangements were under the special direction of Mrs Huthchinson' There was a 'sound comprehensive modern English education with preparation for various public examinations and instruction in music, drawing, commercial education, modern languages, shorthand etc'. In 1896 Master Walter Hutchinson carried off high honours for writing Pitmans shorthand by winning the Lord Warden's silver challenge for all boys at school in East Kent. The Marquis of Salisbury was Lord Warden at the time. The school was attracting increasing numbers of pupils from all parts. There were 'exceptional facilities for cricket, football and all other outdoor sports recreation with sea bathing and swimming regularly in the summer'. This school continued until at least 1905 then for some reason, probably the retirement or death of Mr Hutchinson - the school closes.]
