ace of Westminster was origi nally called the King’s Tower but later renamed the Victoria Tower, to commemorate the long reign of Queen Victoria. It therefore seems entirely appropriate, in this diamond

ment, to be named Montgomerie Garden, will bring something new to the local prop erty market. “It will offer a range of properties from
first-time buyer apartments up to four bed room family homes. “The new homes will appeal to people
who wish to move on to or up the property ladder and stay close to the town centre. I t ' will also attract new residents in to the area. to the benefit of the local economy.” Work is due to start in the summer on
