The History
50 Newbury Street is divided into Alfred House and Thanet House and it seems likely that the whole property once bore the latter name as a boarding house owned by K.AR Sugden Headmaster of King Alfred’s school from 1919-1924.
In 1933 it is believed that the house was then used as a prep school attended most famously by Lester Piggott.
Alfred House was also referred to as King Alfred’s hostel and in 1941 was used during the war to house evacuees.
