This terrace of 12 houses, numbers 31 to 42 Clarence Square, were built in 1837. Constructed of stuccoed brick with fine detailing, slate roof and iron balconies, verandah and railings. The middle six houses are 3 storeys, the other six are 2 storeys. Clarence Square was named after the Duke of Clarence, who became William IV in 1830. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1386851 Cheltenham is located at the foot of the Cotswold scarp with the small River Chelt flowing through the town. After the discovery of mineral springs in 1716 Cheltenham became a spa town and many Regency houses and other buildings were erected. The town is home to the renowned Cheltenham Festival, four days of horse jump racing culminating in the Gold Cup, held annually in March at the nearby racecourse.
