Hi Marion Used to live in Dovercourt, whislt can not remember a Hill House, somewhere in my brain, the REDOUT - springs to mind, an old bit of history lesson maybe, but the redout is a napolionic fort and was buil in 1800's and is at a top of a hill. Possibly some buildings were knocked down, to build. Try a web search for Harwich Redout - might be able to help there. Good Luck. Liz
