Nos 30-58, 30a and 33a (Consecutive) and Attached Railings

This terrace forms one half of Brunswick Square, built between 1825 and 1827 by the architects Amon Wilds and C.A. Busby. The architecture is Classical in style. The buildings are constructed with stucco over brick and rubble, and feature moulded strings and cornices, rusticated ground floors, and some original rear elevations faced with beach pebbles. The roofs are mostly concealed behind a parapet.

The terrace follows an ‘L’ shape, set on a sloping site and connecting to Nos 1-7 Brunswick Place and Nos 20-32 Brunswick Terrace. The buildings are three or four storeys high, with a basement, except for No. 58 which has three storeys; most have three-window frontages, although Nos 30A and 58 are double-fronted. The majority have bow fronts, with Nos 30-33A featuring flat fronts, and Nos 47 and 52 having full-height curved bay windows. Sash windows are mostly fitted with original glazing bars, with some surviving blind boxes. Original cast-iron balconies are present on the first floor.

Five different architectural designs are evident along the terrace. Nos 30-33A feature giant Corinthian pilasters with a balustraded parapet, and the entrance to No. 30 is accessed via a flat-roofed Ionic porch on the return to Brunswick Place. Nos 34-42 have flat facades to the ground floor and Ionic columnar doorcases. Nos 48-51 and Nos 53-57 incorporate a giant Ionic order, an attic storey with triangular caps to diminishing pilasters, and Greek Doric doorcases. Nos 47 and 52 have Ionic columns on their first-floor bay, pilasters above, and a continuous metope and triglyph across the ground floor. Nos 53-57 consist of alternate giant Ionic order and pilasters, with an attic storey and triangular caps to diminishing pilasters, and Greek Doric doorcases. No. 58 has Corinthian pilasters to its double bow front, a balustraded parapet and a round-headed entrance. No. 33A, on the return to Brunswick Place, is four storeys tall with a 1:2:2 bay arrangement and a two-window, full-height bow. The variety of doors, mostly half-glazed, are accessed by flights of steps. Cast-iron railings return from the entrances along the street frontage, providing access to the areas. The composer Sir Hamilton Harty died at No. 33 on 19 February 1941.
