HISTORICAL NOTE: The Promenade was laid out in 1818 as a tree-lined avenue from 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 Guide (published 1845) he noted that 'nearly the whole of the left-hand (SE) side .. is devoted to professional or business establishments'.
