1-11, Albany Terrace

Albany Terrace is a terrace of six houses built around 1820 to 1850, likely in two phases of construction. The four houses on the left appear to date from around 1820 to 1830, while the two on the right were built around 1850. Later 19th and 20th century extensions are visible to the rear. The houses are constructed of brick with a painted stucco front and returns, and have slate roofs with brick and stucco party wall stacks, some of which have been rebuilt. They have a double-depth plan with a staircase on the right side of each house. The two houses on the right feature a full-height service range to the rear, with a two-storey extension set back on the right side of the right-hand house.

The terrace is two storeys high with cellars. The front elevation has twelve first-floor windows (two per house), and the stucco detailing includes rustication on the ground floor, a plat band at first-floor level, and imitation ashlar detailing. Other notable features are the tooled architraves, the crowning frieze, cornice, and low parapet with coping. The first-floor windows are 6/6 sashes, except for a casement window inserted around 1970 in the leftmost house. The two houses on the right have 2/2 horned sashes. The ground floor windows are tripartite, with 6/6 windows between 2/2 sashes in the earlier houses on the left, and 2/2 windows between 1/1 sashes with horns in the two houses on the right. The entrance bays are set back slightly and have steps leading to 3-panel doors in Nos. 1-7, with raised and fielded upper panels, flush-beaded lower panels, sidelights, and divided overlights. Nos. 9 and 11 have 6-panel doors with four raised and fielded upper panels, a flush-beaded lower pair, sidelights, and a margin-glazed overlight. Some of the cellars have been opened up, and Nos. 3 and 5 have 20th-century windows. The rear windows are 6/6 sashes.

The interiors are noted for their original joinery features, including shutters. The staircase at No.11 has turned balusters, while the other staircases have stick balusters. Albany Terrace is located on the north side of Britannia Square and is part of an important Regency-era development in Worcester.
