Bath's Georgian builders certainly liked their curves. Another fantastically stately terrace, excellently proportioned, with characteristic emphases at the centre - pediment and pilasters (Image]) - and the ends - pilasters only. Attic storey above a continuous cornice. Wrought-iron balconies (Image]). Begun by John Palmer from 1792-1810, but completed by John Pinch, who was probably responsible for the ironwork. Several houses rebuilt in 1958 after bomb damage in 1942. Grade II* listed.
