History
Hampton Road was originally called Prison Road. It derives its name from John Stephen Hampton (1810-1869), the Governor of WA from 1862-68. He was previously Comptroller of Convicts in Tasmania. His son, G. E. Hampton, was Acting Comptroller-General of the Fremantle Convict Establishment.
Lots 822-823 were owned originally by William Owston from 1879, followed by Jonathon Crake and J K Hitchcock from 1880. From 1889 the lot was owned by Capt. Edward Henry Fothergill, merchant and mariner, and then by his son from 1918 to 1931.
The house at No. 8 was built c1904, and has had no major alterations. It was auctioned in October 1982, selling for $78, 000.
