INTERIOR: not inspected. HISTORICAL NOTE: The Promenade was laid out in 1818 as a tree-lined avenue connecting the Colonnade in the High Street to the Sherborne Spa (on the site of the Queen's Hotel qv), by 1826 it was a carriage drive with spacious gravelled walk on each side. Buildings on the NW were the first to be developed. Although originally on either side were 'rows of elegant houses', by 1845 when Rowe wrote his Cheltenham Guide (published 1850) he noted that 'nearly the whole of the left-hand (SE) side .. is devoted to professional or business establishments'. The frieze to Nos 80 and 82 is a rare survival in the Promenade of a feature associated with its mid-C19 expansion.
