- Broadwater Court, Tunbridge Wells, Kent
Violinist Eugene Ysaye and sculptor Paul van den Kerckhove and their families both stayed for a short time at Broadwater Court on Broadwater Down, at the time, the country house of the Van Den Bergh family.
Henry Van Den Bergh was born in 1851 in Maasdonk, The Netherlands, of Jewish origin. His family were butter wholesalers; in 1870, he moved to London to carry on the business, which by now also sold margarine. Henry married Henrietta (nee Spanjaard) in 1887, when he was 35 and she was just 19. Their London home was at 8 Kensington Palace Gardens, in an area once known as ‘Billionaire’s Row’.
The registration forms show that Paul van den Kerckhove, Louise and their two daughters arrived in England around September 2014 seeking temporary accommodation. They moved from a London Hotel to Broadwater Court in March 1915. By September 2015, Paul’s sculpture of Mayor Emson had been presented. By January 2016 the family lived in Garden Road Tunbridge Wells. However, Louise and the girls then relocated to Blackpool, without Paul, whilst he moved to hotels first in London, then Teddington.
