Numbers 89 To 103 And Attached Area Railings

Numbers 89 to 103 and attached area railings form a terrace of seven houses, now offices and flats, built around 1805 to 1820. They are constructed with stucco over brick, featuring slate roofs and brick and stucco party-wall stacks. The houses vary in layout, with most having a double-depth plan and double-pitch roofs. Numbers 91 and 93 have single-pitched roofs and two-storey service ranges to the rear.

The three-storey facade has 15 first-floor windows. Stucco detailing includes full-height Ionic pilasters at both ends and along the party walls, horizontal rustication to the ground floor, bands to the first and second floors, a crowning entablature, and a blocking course. The windows predominantly have horizontal-pane sashes (6/6 and 2/2 to the ground and first floors, and 3/6 to the second floor), set in plain reveals with sills. The entrances are located to the right of each house, with Number 103 having an entrance to the left return. Most have original four- and six-panel doors with sidelights and overlights, though Numbers 89 and 101 have 20th-century glazed doors. The left return has three first-floor windows and 6/6 sashes, and a further entrance with double, part-glazed doors and an overlight with margin lights in a raised surround with a cornice.

Some interiors retain dogleg staircases with rod-and-bobbin balusters and end newels, as well as original plasterwork including a Greek key frieze to the cornice in two ground-floor rooms. Balconies with scrolled lozenge motifs are present on the first floor to the left. Arrowhead area railings are also present.

The terrace was built along St George’s Place, which began in 1805, and was originally known as Stills Lane, serving as the only road connecting the High Street with the Royal Well Spa before the Promenade was constructed.
