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.

The cottage was occupied by James Moore and the shop by Thomas Simson. The rate book for the following year records James Shepherd as the owner of the residence and shop and rooms. George Pearson lived in the cottage while Joseph North occupied the shop and rooms.
Brownlie was the owner in 19151/6 and Minetta Lancaster by 1920. The Lancaster families owned the property until 1949/50 when ownership was transferred to Rose Stacey. By 1952, Walter Stacey was the registered owner of the shop and residence that were occupied by Daphne Stacey (residence) and Mrs Smith (shop). By 1956, Joseph Silich owned the two buildings.
