Summary

Three houses built in 1823, originally forming part of a terrace of fifteen houses.

Reasons for Designation

Nos 138-142 (even) York Road, Bedminster, Bristol are designated at Grade II for the following principal reasons: * Architectural interest: despite some loss of historic fabric they display good quality early C19 architectural detailing and are a good example of a small group of modest early-C19 town houses. * Historic interest: as the only three surviving houses of an important early-C19 terrace, they are an interesting and poignant reminder of the early-C19 development of this part of Bristol. * Group value: they form an group with the adjacent nos 108-120 (even) York Road (qv).

A plaque on no 142 is inscribed: REDCLIFF CRESCENT / 1823.
