The Triangle is a small parcel of land that is formed at the junction of Windmill Street, Albert Road and St Leonards Road in Hythe, Kent.
The Hythe Triangle group have an opportunity to bid on the land and secure it from future development. In support of this project and to help the group The Good Estate Agent are offering to donate £100 for every property we list for sale or to let in and around Hythe. This offer will run from May to June 2015.
The Triangle was first used in the 1800’s as an animal pound where stray livestock would be safely kept until it could be reunited with its owner who would then pay for its keep. More recently, it is unders
tood that The Triangle provided a watering station, probably by the military.
After a transfer of ownership in 2011, the new owners started to clear the site and felled several trees including one which was planted in memoriam to a Hythe resident.
The community gathered quickly and the remaining trees on the site were made the subject of Tree Preservation Orders which has so protected their status.
The campaign to protect the site gathered momentum and the site was brought to the interest of English Heritage who recognised the historical importance of the site and, in 2012, added The Triangle to the Heritage List as a Grade II asset.
This group aims to raise awareness of the historical aspect of the site and further seek its protection from development.
