Salisbury Terrace, Salisbury Street, Dorchester

Grade II Listed terrace Nos. 1 to 7. Mid 19th century, a 1970 Inventory of the Historical Monuments in Dorset, Volume 2 states that the south gable wall has a panel inscribed J.G. 1850 but I can't detect it in the photo. The north gable wall has a panel when I look in Google street view but I can't read it. For a period of less than five years from Jan. 1856 it seems a 'Classical, Mathematical and Commercial School' was run in one of the houses by an Isaac Hann who then moved to North Square.
