Parkeston Residential "H"
Hamilton Street, Parkeston, Essex
Hamilton Street, was built in the 1880’s, with housing in the southern end and a School, Church and Village Hall in the upper Northern end (you can see the gates at the top of the road, marking the dividing line).
Like much of the terraced housing in Parkeston this road was built for railway employees and some of the streets in the village have names that can be theoretically linked to the shipping and general activities of the railway, examples being Tyler Street [paddle steamer 'The Lady Tyler’], Hamilton Street [paddle steamer 'Lord Claude Hamilton’], Adelaide Street [paddle steamer ‘Adelaide’] and Princess Street [paddle steamer 'Princess of Wales’].
Lord Claude Hamilton (1843-1925), a former chairman of Great Eastern Railway, also gave his name to Hamilton Park, with the extensive playing fields between the village and the station/quay area.
