Although originally on either side were 'rows of elegant houses,' by 1845 (when Rowe wrote his Cheltenham Guide, published in 1850) he noted that 'nearly the whole of the left-hand (SE) side .. is devoted to professional or business establishments.' The ground floors form a continuous commercial unit with No.32 (qv) at time of Review.
