Terraced Georgian Houses - St John's Mall

In 1817 Sir Lawrence Parsons set about extending the town to the east. Initially four terraced houses were built to the west of John’s Hall. These were two story over basement houses with a grass front enclosed within iron railings. Further developments took place in the 1860’s with the building of Regency houses towards Cromptons Row
