Grosvenor Crescent is contemporary with Albion Crescent, see Image i.e. built between about 1867 and 1872. It is also part of the Weaponness Estate laid out by Joseph Paxton and again the houses are built in white silica brick. In this case the central gardens are now a small public park but in the 19th century they would have been private gardens for the houses, surrounded by iron railings, not a hedge.
