GV II

Terraced house, now shop. c1820-40 with later additions and alterations including remains of late C19 shop front at right, with otherwise late C20 ground-floor shop front. Ashlar over brick with concealed roof and right end stucco stack. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys, 3 first-floor windows. 2/2 horizontal-pane sashes where original, those to first floor in roll-moulded reveals and with cornices on consoles. First-floor sill band. Crowning frieze and cornice, with low parapet with copings. Ground floor: glazed shop front and 2 off-centre entrances, that to right a glazed door in remains of late Victorian shop frontage with panelled end pilaster, bracket and frieze. INTERIOR: not inspected. The ground floor forms one commercial unit with No.88 (qv) at Review. 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 side 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 Buildings of England: Verey D: Gloucestershire: The Vale and The Forest of Dean: London: 1970-: 146; Williams GA: Guide Book to Cheltenham: 1824-: 29; Rowe G: Illustrated Cheltenham Guide: Cheltenham: 1850-1969: 12).
