History of Rebbeck Brothers
It was in 1807 that Lewis Tregonwell
and his wife, Henrietta, took an excursion to the coast
from their home in Cranborne in Dorset and fell in love
with the wild scenery and beautiful coastline where the
Bourne Stream flowed into the sea. Henrietta
suggested that Lewis build a house "in this delightful
spot"
and so the first house, the Mansion (now part of the Royal
Exeter Hotel) was constructed between 1810 and 1812. They
gradually acquired more land in the area and in the 1830's
arranged for William Edward Rebbeck to move from their
Estate in Cranborne to Bournemouth as their Estate Manager.
W. E. Rebbeck was to play a major role
in the establishment of Bournemouth opening an Estate Office
in the corner of Old Christchurch Road and Gervis Place
in 1845 founding the firm which is now Rebbeck Brothers.
Rebbeck Brothers is the oldest firm in
Bournemouth and has the rare distinction of being a continuing
partnership since its foundation. It moved to its present
offices in The Square in 1934.
William Edward's son and grandson
became partners and Horace Mellery-Pratt, a Chartered Surveyor
from London joined the practice soon after the Second World
War. His two sons,
Anthony and Timothy, are the present partners.
Rebbeck Brothers continue to provide advice to the business
and private clients on all aspects of property and land.
