Royal Terrace was originally of 18 houses, built in 2 phases, this one being of the early phase; it has a straight joint in the face brickwork with No.74 (qv) adjoining, showing that work was not continuous even in the main phases of construction. Apart from the loss of glazing bars to the street front, this remains one of the better units in the terrace, including the rear detailing. INTERIOR: not inspected.
