Abstract

On its completion in 1901, Thoman Hancock Junior's grand residence, Fairy Knoll, afforded an enviable view of Ipswich and its surrounds. Its prestigious hill top site overlooking Limestone Park amply reflected the position occupied by the Hancock family in Ispwich society and the material culmination of Hancock's successful business career as a timber merchant.
