3-10, BATH STREET

This is a terrace of eight houses located at 3-10 Bath Street, built around 1792 by Thomas Paty and his sons. The terrace was restored around 1980 and is constructed of brick with ashlar dressings, featuring brick stacks and pantile mansard roofs. The design includes a double-depth plan, with pilasters dividing the terrace, a sill band, a moulded cornice, and a parapet.

The windows are 20th-century six-over-six pane sash types set under cambered heads, supported by seven stepped voussoirs, and there are two dormers. The ground floors vary: Nos. 8 and 10 have steeply pedimented doorcases on fluted brackets with interlaced overlights; No. 9 features a pedimented doorcase with a fan and 20th-century infilling; No. 7 has elliptical arched windows flanking a semicircular-arched window with scrolled keys, set in a rusticated ashlar ground floor; No. 6 has a 20th-century scribed rendered front; Nos. 5 and 4 have a wide 20th-century opening across the party wall; and No. 3 has three ground-floor sashes and lacks a second floor.

The interiors of the houses have been extensively modernised. Historically, this terrace is notable as the only remaining street row from the Patys' Bridge Street development, which was part of the city's rebuilding efforts after 1766. It was originally shown meeting St Thomas Street before being cut off by the development of Victoria Street.
