In past times, the land to the west of North Street was occupied by low standard housing occupied by working class families but towards the end of the 19th century new developments began to change the area, notably the building of this attractive crescent of cottages in what is now Burghley Street. Exeter Row is so named because these houses were the first to be built there circa 1870 by the Marquess of Exeter, Lord of the Manor of Bourne, originally as cottages for artisans and now privately owned. These terraced cottages occupy one of the most prominent positions in Bourne and the attractive white frontage gives them a distinguished appearance on a sunny day.
