Numbers 45-63 And Attached Railings

This is a terrace of ten houses, built in the early 19th century, with later 19th century additions, situated in Camden.

Number 45 is stuccoed with a rusticated ground floor, and has three storeys and a basement. It features a single window. The segmental arched doorway has splayed reveals, a cornice head, a fanlight, and a panelled door. Pilasters run through the first and second floors, supporting an entablature. The recessed sash windows are round-arched on the first floor, architraved with fan decoration in the tympanum and a cast-iron balcony. Attached cast-iron railings with spearhead finials mark the areas.

Numbers 47 to 59 are also early 19th century, and have been altered. They are constructed of yellow stock brick with rusticated stucco ground floors and a plain stucco sill band on the first floor. Each house has three storeys and a basement, with two windows each. The segmental arched doorways have splayed reveals, panelled jambs, cornice-heads, fanlights, and panelled doors. Gauged brick flat arches frame the recessed sash windows, and cast-iron balconies are present on the first floor. A cement cornice and blocking course top the facades. Attached cast-iron railings with spearhead finials are also present.

Numbers 61 and 63 were built in the mid-19th century. Their construction includes yellow stock brick, where the parapet has been rebuilt using multi-coloured bricks. A plain stucco band runs at ground floor level. Each house has three storeys and a basement, with two windows, and number 63 has a single-window right-hand extension. Round-arched doorways feature fanlights and panelled doors. Gauged red brick flat arches frame the recessed sash windows. A carved mask keystone and a plaque inscribed "S + P THIS IS BAGNIGGE HOVSE NEARE THE PINDER A WAKEFEILDE 1680" are set into the wall. Attached cast-iron railings mark the areas.

The interiors were not inspected. The site was previously the location of Bagnigge Wells, a watering place and pleasure garden founded in 1759 by Thomas Hughes. The houses stand on the site of the Long Room, where concerts were held. The inscription, which has been refixed, may be derived from an earlier house on the site of the spa. Numbers 45 to 59 were likely developed when the spa was reduced in size in 1813, while numbers 61 and 63 were probably built when the spa was closed in 1841.
