Description

New Bond Street Place consists of nine terrace houses, which have been converted into shops with accommodation above. These buildings were constructed around 1825 to 1830 and are made of limestone ashlar, with roofs that are likely covered in Welsh slate but are not visible from the street.

The exterior features three storey rows that lead to a passage. A frieze, moulded cornice, and parapet run continuously along the top. Nos. 1 to 5 on the east side each have one window, which are recessed glazing bar sashes topped with cornices on carved consoles above the first floor. No. 1 has a plaque on the left-hand pilaster commemorating Rudge (1837-1903), the inventor of the Biophantascope, a precursor to the Kinematograph. Nos. 7 and 8 on the west side have two windows each, similar to Nos. 1-5, while No. 9 has three windows without cornice heads. There is a continuous fascia and cornice over the ground floors on both sides, with original pilastered shopfronts, some featuring shallow canted or rectangular bay windows that still retain their glazing bars. No. 5 is part of the same premises as No. 11 Upper Borough Walls. No. 9 is slightly lower than the others and dates to around 1820, featuring a lintel moulded cornice and parapet. Its pilastered shopfront was designed by Alfred J. Taylor and includes panelled risers and fluted brackets flanking the fascia.

The interiors, except for the ground floors, were not inspected. No. 1 retains the top flight of the original Georgian staircase, while No. 2 has the return flight with a Doric newel. Little else remains inside. No. 8 features c1840 winder stairs and some Regency cornicing. No. 3, known as The Volunteer Rifleman's Arms, has a damaged contemporary staircase with turned balusters. No. 9 may have been built alongside New Bond Street.

Historically, the Council approved the formation of New Bond Street Place on 26th July 1824, which continues the line of the Saxon Union Passage through and beyond the City wall.
