Some unusually high retaining walls and steep steps up onto Royal York Terrace at the Sion Hill/York Gardens end of Royal York Crescent allow the inhabitants of this long row of attached houses some very elevated views across Hotwells and beyond. The trees behind the lamppost are part of a private, communally owned garden belonging to the residents of these two streets. According to a nearby heritage plaque Eugenie de Montijo (1826-1920), wife of Emperor Napoleon III, attended school in 1836 in one of the properties currently covered in scaffolding.
