Description
The buildings at 35 and 36 Britannia Square are a pair of semi-detached houses dating back to around 1820, with later additions and alterations. They are constructed of painted stucco over brick, with a hipped slate roof and a pair of party-wall stacks that have been partially rebuilt, featuring oversailing detail and decorative pots. The houses are two storeys high with four windows on the first floor. Architectural detailing includes full-height Doric-style pilasters at each end and a plain frieze. The windows are 6/6 sash windows within plain reveals and sills. The entrances are located in the return elevations, with 6-panel doors; the left-hand house features a fluted architrave, paterae to the angles and fluted reveals, while the right-hand house has a partially glazed 6-panel door and a Doric-style porch.
The listed buildings of Britannia Square, of which these are part, form a cohesive group, initiated in 1820 and planned around a central green, alongside the main house known as "Springfield." The development is comparable to other similar yet smaller schemes in Worcester, such as Lansdowne Crescent, Lark Hill, and Rainbow Hill Terrace.
