The Royal Crescent was one of the first Regency developments in Cheltenham. It was built as a terrace of 18 houses, hotels and boarding houses, today the houses are the premises of offices, surgeries and a club. The houses were built as a development by Joseph Pitt, the original plan being to build an entire circular circus, however it was never completed. Joseph Pitt went on to develop Pittville to the north of Cheltenham, taking its name from Joseph Pitt. Royal Crescent is Grade II* listed, see: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1387817
