The Polygon, Southampton history

---

The Polygon is a planned grand 22-acre (89,000 m) development in this area. The design was the brainchild of architect Jacob Leroux, who saw it as Southampton’s answer to Bath’s Royal Crescent. Construction began in 1768, but only the hotel and three houses were completed. The hotel opened in 1773, although it did not do very good business. In the Victorian era, many more houses, typical of the time, were built on the surrounding land.
