Number 30 And Piers And Front Railings

Number 30 is a house located in Victoria Square, Clifton, built around 1865, likely designed by Archibald Ponton. The building is constructed from limestone ashlar and features lateral and party wall stacks, topped with a pantile hipped roof. It has a double-depth plan and is designed in the Italianate style, consisting of three storeys and a basement, with a three-window range.

The façade has three ashlar faces, a first-floor moulded sill band, and stone cornices at the eaves. A single-storey full-width porch includes a side entrance and three windows, supported by pilasters with foliate capitals, moulded eaves, and a two-leaf door. The windows above feature jambs with foliate capitals and moulded stilted lintels with cornices, fitted with 2/2-pane sashes. The right return mirrors the front with a two-window range, including paired ground-floor and tripartite right-hand windows, while the left return has outer three-light bows. The stacks are adorned with cornices.

Inside, there is a rear open dogleg stair with barleysugar balusters, a curtail, and moulded soffits, along with six-panel doors, cornices, and shutters. The property is complemented by round, capped piers with cast-iron railings. It is believed to have been designed as the Parsonage to St James'.
