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.
House, 129 Hampton Road was built in 1887 for John Cadden, a pensioner guard. Two years later, Annie Cadden was a widow and was listed as the owner and occupier of the cottage.
John Cadden (1829-27/5/1889) arrived in Western Australia as an Enrolled Pensioner Guard. In 1880, he was stationed at Fremantle and lived at No. 1 Barrack with his wife and four children. Annie Cadden was a midwife and is listed in the ‘Bicentennial Dictionary of Western Australians’ as living at Glennifer Cottage, Hampton Road.
Annie married Alexander Quinn in Fremantle in April 1890 and sold her Hampton Road property to Edgar Howard Gliddon, Fremantle’s town surveyor from 1887 to 1897. Mr Gliddon went on to be the City of Perth’s engineer until 1920.
In 1891, the property was sold to Alfred Fry, a draper. Mr Fry owned the cottage until 1901/02, by which time it was described in the rate books as a five roomed cottage. Mr Fry lived in it until 1897, and then leased it to William James Thorn, a carrier. It was Mr Thorn who bought the cottage in 1901/02. He added stables to the property immediately. Local memory has it that Mr Thorn had two horse drawn lorries.
A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated c. 1910 shows a large stone house with full length front and rear verandahs, built in the centre of two lots. A small weatherboard building was located to the northwest of the back of the house, and the backyard was fenced into several sections, including a fowl run and horse yard. A weatherboard stable was located against the back boundary of the southern lot. There was also a galvanised iron shed located against the southern boundary.
In 1927, William Thorn sold House, 129 Hampton Road to Frances Cridland, who lived in the house with her husband, George. Mrs A Thorn bought the property in 1934/35 and leased it to tenants.
Between 1937/38 and 1980, the house was owned and occupied by George and Ellen Groves. It has had a number of owners since then.
In 1944, plans were approved for the old stables to be repaired and a feedhouse and cart shed constructed. A garage was built c. 1957.
This place was included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - BROWN -significant for making a positive contribution to the built environment of Fremantle.
