Description
The garden walls along the street at numbers 16 to 20 are original mid-Victorian structures made of red brick with ashlar cappings. They feature paired gatepiers at the garden entrances, which have gabled tops, although the attached railings are now missing. The walls return at the ends to connect with the sides of the terrace. While they have been much altered, they are included as part of a group with the terrace. All the listed buildings in Park Street, except St Paul's House, form a group together with numbers 2 to 18 (even) Wellington Road.
