Earlsdon was developed as a suburb of Coventry in the mid 19th century. This substantial pair of three-storey semi-detached houses in Clarendon Street were built to the requirements of father and son watchmakers William and Joseph Richardson and were occupied by them in 1855. The building included provision of top shops at the rear for production of watches. Other later occupants included Alfred Herbert (who started a machine tool manufacturing company) and Frederick Gibberd who became an architect (Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral, Harlow New Town amongst others).
