GREEN HOLLOW SOUTH

Coombe Hill Road, Kingston Upon Thames, Surrey, KT2 7DU

History:

Green Hollow until 1919 formed part of the grounds of Coombe
Green which was built at the end of World War 1 for Major Ian
(Ion) Bullough the son of John Bullough who had inherited the
family weaving business in Lancashire. ‘Ion’ incidentally is a Scots
Gaelic form of John and in later years of his life continued with the
name Ian.

Prior to Major Bullough’s acquisition of the land from HRH Prince
Adolphus Fredric, its previous owner were the Duke of Cambridge
and earlier by King Henry VII.

Rumour has it that Major Bullough, on a brief leave from the
trenches in France, during the First World War, attended the theatre
one evening and feel instantly and hopelessly in love with the
most beautiful of the Gaiety Girls, an actress named Lilly Elsie. She
was similarly smitten and spent the rest of his leave with him until
his return to the front. But there was a problem. The mayor was
trapped in an unhappy marriage from which he could not escape.
Nevertheless, he asked Lilly if, should he return safely, she would
go and live with him if he built her a house in “the country”. He
did survive the War and she agreed on condition that the house
was convenient to London, in order that she could continue her
theatrical career. The Coombe Hill area, already well known in Royal
and social circles, was ideal in that respect.
