The houses of Sillwood Place were built on the site of the Oriental Garden, which was projected in 1825 but abandoned in July 1827. The construction of Sillwood Hall (now part of Plummers premises) was started in August 1827 and the houses of Sillwood Place, leading from Oriental Place up to Sillwood Hall were completed in 1829. For very many years they were all separate dwellings occupied by wealthy people but by the 1870s one or two had been turned into Boarding Houses. This process continued particularly on the west side, which backed on to Montpelier Road and several of the houses became small private hotels.
