James Chapman Stodart had a studio at 5 Fort Hill Margate. Following construction of the Fort Arcade at Margate, Fort Hill became Fort Road. This appears in a local 1883/84 directory. The address of the portrait studios changed to 55 Fort Road. On some of his cabinet cards the address is 55 Fort Hill. This is all the same address. Local people did not readily accept the extension of Fort Hill to Fort Road. To avoid confusion later work was addressed as Fort Studio Margate.
