In Mounton Road, Birchfield House, nearer the camera, and Blenheim House were originally built as one property known as Albion House, probably in the late 18th century. It was divided into two houses circa 1860. Birchfield House occupies the upper bay of the four-bay building, with the main elevation at right angles to the street overlooking the garden to the right. Constructed of stuccoed brick under a tile roof. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/listedbuilding/FullReport?lang=&id=2573 Blenheim house comprises the lower three bays of the four-bay building. Constructed of rendered brick under a machine tile roof. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/listedbuilding/FullReport?lang=&id=2572 Chepstow, the most easterly town in Wales, is located on the tidal River Wye, some 3 miles above its confluence with the River Severn. There is evidence of continuous human occupation from the Mesolithic period. The town grew in importance when the Normans erected a castle at what was the lowest bridging point of the River Wye. The town flourished as a port, being exempt from English taxation, and it mainly traded in timber and bark from the Wye Valley. The town became an important centre for tourism from the late eighteenth century.

Children's day nursery located in Regent House on the corner of Regent Way and Mounton Road. Old maps show that the building now known as Regent House was in the southeast corner of the Chepstow Workhouse site. The site was in use from 1838. After 1930, the former workhouse became Regent House Public Assistance Institution. Most of the former workhouse buildings have been demolished.
