Somerset Place, BATH, BA1 5AD

Part of Somerset Place. Somerset Place was built in two stages, starting in the early 1790s with the central section (the pair of houses in the centre of the photo with the tympanum) by local architect John Eveleigh, with work having to stop due to his bankruptcy. It was later completed in 1820. Parts were damaged by incendiary bombs in the Second World War, but were fully restored. Grade I listed - see http://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1394986.

A grand crescent distinguished by a massive broken segmental pediment containing paterae and swags and topped by a central urn (see also Image]) . The pediment lends the terrace a slightly old-fashioned air. It is the sort of exuberant but gauche detail a provincial early Georgian builder might have put up. Disturbingly it is off-centre, a product of the building, which began in 1790, being interrupted by a lack of money and only being resumed c1820. John Eveleigh made the designs. Several houses were rebuilt after bomb damage in 1942. Grade I listed. Visible here are the steps to the raised pavement and a former bracket for a street lamp on the right. Owned by Bath Spa University until c2005 when the freehold was sold and these are now private houses.
