2, 3 and 4 Tottenham Place

2, 3 and 4 Tottenham Place were built on Honeypen Hill in the 1830s as private residences, overlooking a former quarry and the overflow to Old Clifton Churchyard. The latter is known as the Strangers' Burying Ground from the number of people who travelled to Clifton and Hotwells for their health in the late 18th and early 19th centuries and died while taking the waters. It was disused after 1875 and, is the home of a family of urban foxes. The houses were named after a local resident, Ponsonby Tottenham, a relative of the then Marquess of Ely. The houses came into the University’s possession in the 1940s and 1950s as part of Manor Hall. The last students left in June 2016 before the university sold the properties.
