Pierremont Hall

Discover some of the secrets of this Grade II listed building, located in the heart of Broadstairs. This newly renovated building is a beacon of history, showcasing the town’s historical character. The Hall was built in 1785 for Thomas Forsyth and designed by Samuel Pepys Cockerell. The Duchess of Kent and a young Princess Victoria holidayed at Pierremont from 1826 to 1836. It had various owners until its sale in 1896 to Leonard Posnett, who used it as a school. Most of the original 30 acres of land were developed as housing and the building and remaining park were sold to the Urban District Council in 1927.
